I am surprised at the number of people unaware of dress boots.


To be fair, I think it's more of a northern climate style of shoe. I wouldn't expect many people in the south to pick a lace up dress boot over a standard oxford/derby.

And the answer to the OP is black in my opinion. Definitely like the look of brown shoes with grey suits, but when you get as dark as charcoal, then you have to go to that oxblood/burgundy color and I'm not a huge fan.

I love a nice pair of boots, but I don’t like the look with a suit.

Get a nice pair of oxfords bro.

The man makes the fit, not the other way around. Get what you think looks better, but honestly black boots and belt will probably look better lol.

You can get gray patent leather and it looks fantastic. Not sure how easily it can be had as a boot.

Patent leather is acceptable in exactly three situations: at a black-tie affair, with a military dress uniform, and on the feet of children.

I like wearing nice boots with suits. Can't shame me.

Yeah, that’s a pretty shameless look.

All I wear is gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits.

I also have a quarter tank of gas in my new E-Class and I got everything in my momma name.

Looking at my Gucci its about that time.

A charcoal suit is one of the most versatile suits a man can own.

•Black shoes and a dark tie make it formal.

•Oxblood shoes make it professional.

•Tan/light brown shoes with a lighter huge shirt/tie make it more trendy/casual.
