Are these Mark McNairy? I'd say go for it! I have a pair of navy, suede which are really comfortable!

They are. I just don't know what crap green shoes would go with...
Wearing blue, blue and more blue for work for the past 10 years has somewhat killed my color-coordination skills.

I've worn olive with navy before so I guess that would work? White trousers (obv), brown, pastels, all kinds of jeans? I think the one I posted would work better with a wider variety because of the lighter soles, although I can understand if you don't like the raised sole?

Opinions? Alternatives? Budget is under $300 (+/- $50).

Not at all, but... no replies after a while = repost.

The black soles on the McNairy pair make those a little less versatile. I think, despite being olive suede and mildly brogued, those will look pretty boring when worn.

I think you could make it work.

Did you get that julius blazer? would be a much better choice, brand synergies aside.

+1 (although I'd prefer it with long sleeves).

My instinct wants me to say ditto, but I think shirts with a pattern like this, in long sleeve, can be a little garish!
