black is fine, just match your belt to the shoes, if you wear a belt, and suspenders accordingly also, i sold mens clothes and managed a mens wearhouse for a few years, dark brown would be ok, just match the rest of your accessories, also burgundy shoes would be good, dark, the not black thing is a joke, most people wear black shoes with navy blue, lol,dt

Brown shoes with a navy suit is kind of the cool thing right now. It was always ok but lately it seem as preferable to wear brown shoes with navy. However, there is nothing wrong with wearing black shoes with navy, you just won't seem as "hip".
I prefer black with navy but would consider brown if I was in an environment where is mattered.
I recently added a beautiful dark blue/Possibly Navy suit to my wardrobe. I was told not to wear black shoes with a navy colored suit.
I'll probably wear lavender, blue and burgundy colored shirts with it. I was given options such as dark brown, brown, navy, or burgundy shoes. Other stated Black is okay and others stated brown was a NO NO.......(sigh)
What color shoes do you folks wear with dark blue/navy colored suits?
Do you have a pic of the suit?

I do wear black with navy at times, but most often do wear it with a brown. But like DT said the rest of the accessories pull it together and give you more optional looks for the same suit.

Stew,
Check this shoe out that my daughter bought her husband and MADE him wear them to church. I told her that a "Brutha" could get away with that, but not her husband. He wore them to church - once- to make her happy and then they sold them on Ebay!
The toe, in real life, looks more curled on the end than this picture. I think they reminded me of the Wizard of Oz!

I can't remember the last time that I bought a shoe that was not square toed....incidentally you could wear those with a blue suit

here is your answer....
It depends on how young and hip you are. I personally would only wear black shoes/belt with navy because that is the "right" thing us stoggy folk do.
however, the "in" crowd no find that to be oh so very old fashoned.
It is very hip to wear brown with navy. dark brown would be the compromise while the true hipsters would wear even a lighter brown shoe.
(I suspect the in crowd dont wear belts at all... they are a sorry lot)

I usually go with a shade of brown when wearing a blue suit unless I'm just wearing a shirt and tie that would clash with it. Or you could just go true brother with it and get you some blue gators to match.
I buy alot of my hubby's clothes in the "brother" stores - love the shirts!!
