When choosing a staple shoe, it’s important to consider how that shoe is going to work with your day and night looks alike, as well as your dressy and casual.  Things to consider are the cut of the shoe, the height, and very importantly, the color.  Black is a sure bet in the winter, but depending on your wardrobe, it will refuse to carry you through all seasons.  Let down by your black shoes, you’ll be forced to search out another option, one more forgiving that you can lean on and walk in year-round.  And that’s how we come to brown.  It’s less severe, and more versatile.  It matches everything (even black–yeah, you can do that now) and it makes a statement.  With black, you’ve thrown on your ‘match everything’ shoes.  With brown, you’ve got yourself a look.
