Does anyone else think all the men wearing brown dressy shoes looks terrible?

I think slim cut suits with brown shoes and crazy socks are hot, and I’m pushing 50.

Dainty.

But far more frequently you see arrested development men wearing things like this, "walnut" brown with feminine socks. A look that tells the world you lacked a masculine father figure growing up:

Yeah, I'm sure all the MACHO K Street lawyers in DC are pulling tons of babes with this look! If you are a crying type, selfie guy, pink guy, v neck guy, etc., that is fine. You can wear those goofy shoes and socks, but it is not a masculine look.

Haha, did you grow up in the hills and only have a church to go?

Snob. This is exactly what is wrong with sartorial "rules". The fact that someone out there has decided someone is lesser because they don't abide by whatever rules you have set. I hope your snootiness keeps your cold heart happy and warm at night.

Why should you care what color shoes someone wears?

Snob? She sounds more like a hillbilly pretend to be old school.

Women have been wearing all sorts/colors of weird shoes for years. Let the men have some fun.

Seriously, put the men in some “Gladiator” sandals and well see how ridiculous Women’s Foot fashion looks in comparison.

Over the knee boots anyone? Uggs?

Agree OP.

I can't think of a pair of dress shoes that wouldn't look goofy with those socks and pants combinations.

The brown shoes, themselves, paired with nice dress pants and normal socks look fine. I think the brown color really looks nice with navy blue pants , much better than black shoes look with navy blue, IMO.

This is what every single man in my workplace wears with dress pants and a blue windowpane plaid shirt.

I agree.

In my observation a man wearing the kind of brown shoes maligned here is at least making an effort to look nice. If only more men would do that.
