I really like oxblood shoes, it's a great colour if you keep them polished and wear them right.
Walking up to the train station yesterday there was a guy in an incredibly sharp blue suit, like BLUE. He had black shoes on. Wear whatever you like but if you're making a statement like that, complete it with a great pair of not black shoes. Oxblood or even suede would have killed it.
The brogueing isn't the problem for the dye, just massive effort for the scrubbing off and reapplying polish.
They're Jones, so not the best in the world, but not bad. Full brogue though, so lots of jaggedy, holey bits. Maybe I won't bother
