While I'm interested in grey and navy as shoe colors (as occasional grace notes to a whimsical ensemble, not as wardrobe staples), ironically, I hate the dark grey burnished look on these. They appear barely not black (just as the navy Florsheim wingtips my store had last year did), and close to distressed. While I value some burnish or patina in my brown shoes, I am drawn to the (almost certainly cheap and corrected grain) uniform medium grey. If you're gonna go oddball, go oddball. For the same reason, when I rock some fun socks, I prefer bright yellow argyle to hunter green on navy.
