Where is that rule stated about the sock/pant color?
And why would you even think to wear brown dress shoes with those pants?
1) In general, men are supposed to match their sock color to their pants, women are supposed to match their sock color to their shoes. Men can also match their socks to their shirt or ties. These are generalities of course.
2) I don't want to buy a pair of black shoes and I own these.

I always go straight for the clearance page
I had to return the black ones I purchased last week (that I posted in your other thread, they sent me two different sizes) and since I paid via paypal they couldn't refund my money, so I had to bite the bullet and find a pair in store...which cost me $35 more than the ones I got online. But the new ones were $90 as well. The price you pay to be a premium dresser.

If I'm wearing blue jeans with black shoes, I tend to wear black socks. Blue socks with with jeans and black shoes just feels and looks weird to me, and even more so if I'm wearing a black shirt with blue jeans. If I'm going with brown shoes, I'll try to match my socks with the shirt color I'm wearing.
I just don't believe brown shoes go with gray pants in any situation. Time to sack up and buy some black shoes that aren't so dressy.

Charcoal pants and brown shoes
My wife always tells me black shoes with black pants, and since charcoal is a variation of black then black is the way to go. I usually wear brown shoes/belt with tan...

I literally haven't worn a pair of jeans, blue or otherwise, in over a decade. My wife had never seen me wear them until last week and we've been married almost 10 years.
I can't even imagine that. Hell, I don't think I've gone a day in the past decade WITHOUT wearing jeans. SeeGreen: "Ahhh.. whenever optimusprimal19 speaks, good things have happened."
