Men's Brown Shoes

About this collection

Brown is the most versatile shoe colour. Dark brown leather shoes are smart enough for suits at work and weddings, and every shade of brown works with chinos and denim.

Smart: Dean Brown, Flint Brown, Garson Brown and Winston Brown.

Relaxed: Emmet Brown and Samuel Brown loafers, Stan Brown brogue trainers, and all our brown loafers.

Boots: Michael Brown and the rest of our Chelsea boots.

How our shoes are made

Leather pairs are cut from full-grain crust leather with no surface coating or printed grain, lined in lambskin or sheepskin, with a padded insole. Soles are cemented rather than stitched, so they are light and need little breaking in. See how our shoes are made.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear brown shoes with a black suit?

It is not the classic pairing. Black shoes suit a black suit best. Brown works with navy, grey, blue, green and brown tailoring.

What colour suit goes with brown shoes?

Navy, mid and light grey, blue, green and beige. Dark brown also works with charcoal for business. See our shoe colour guide.

Are brown shoes formal?

Dark brown leather shoes are smart enough for business suits and most weddings. For black tie and with a black suit, wear black.
