I am currently in the market for a pair of boat shoes from Sperry Top-Sider. However, I've hit a bit of a stumbling block and would like some opinions on how well the colours of each pair of boat shoes will work with clothing outfits. Below are all of the colour options that I am considering. Brick Burnished

I wouldn't consider anything besides the tan burnished unless you had multiple other pairs.

Can you explain the reasoning behind this just a little more?

Fair enough.

Why not include the Brick Burnished in that too then?

I actually saw that thread. I wanted to introduce a polling function and ask about 6 specific colours rather than a generalized question.

To me, that's the exact reasoning necessary to create a thread.

Debatable. Also, go with the brown. The brick isn't as versatile because it's, well, brick. Red tones aren't as versatile as brown.
