This thread is ridiculous. I would have just said order some black shoes. Jeesh.

Then why didn't you before he started the thread?

Last time I wore those ( I think - Aldo's?) with gray jeans ...
I came home with a chick ... Just sayin.

Color blind girls like sex too, I suppose.

Let's cut to the chase here, those shoes are 2 or 3 years old. Wing tips and Suede oxfords are the correct shoes to wear in 2012 and beyond

The goal is not to "come home with a chick". I'm 8 months pregnant.. Oh wait, maybe that IS the goal.. Haha.

Did you not see my response, and linked shoes? Some credit, give it to me.

Those shoes have "I was born in Wisconsin" written all over them

I would say some sort of grey sock would be my choice here,

This, but lose the brown shoes and go with black shoes; problem solved.

The correct answer was the first response to this thread. Anyone who thinks brown shoes don't go with gray is still wearing pleated pants.

Men are supposed to match sock color (or darker) to pants rather than shoes. Would black socks work here?
(black shoes not being an option)

You'll wear whatever socks 247sports gives you and YOU'LL LIKE IT!

Funny .. I have that exact same pair of shoes.
1. Nobody's looking at your socks dude..
2. If they are (looking at your socks), brown (the darker the better), charcoal grey, any argyles / stripes / whatever with those colors dominant, or even black socks will do. Dark greens & brown or orange & brown tend to be natural allies, but not when it comes to socks, unless the green/orange component is extremely small.
3. Rules about "men are supposed to match blah de blah.." are like speed limits. You don't have to follow them
4. As a dude, it's unlikely people are looking at you, or any part of you, let alone your socks. Unless they're like florescent green with disco balls dangling from them...

If you have gray denim on, it doesn't matter.

The pants/socks rule applies to dress pants. When you wear denim, the rules go out the window.
When I wear brown/tan shoes with my jeans (which is most of the time), I'll go no socks, or patterned tan, like argyle.
The rule that always applies is shoes and belt have to match (watch band too, unless silver or gold).

This. No way can I ever leave the house wearing black shoes/brown belt or vice versa. I just...can't...do it.

I think I agree here, gray denim as work apparel?
At any rate, no need to be boring with socks. I'd say go with one of the following (match with tie and/or shirt):

You're fashion challenged. It's 2012 dude.

Warm and cool colors are never going to go together, regardless of what year it is.

The first rule of fashion is the shoes must match the fanny pack or purse.

Fine, let me rephrase. When it comes to matching shoes to outfits, warm and cool colors are never going to go together, regardless of what year it is.
If you're wearing an orange Tigers shirt, then it probably doesn't matter what color your shoes and socks are.
The photo someone posted on the last page of a grey suit and brown shoes looks stupid. I don't care if someone thinks it's trendy or not, the shoes don't match.
