Colors

One of the common complaints I have heard about men's shoes is that most likely they come in two colors...browns and blacks. Sure there are the occasional navy or cordovan or tan, but for the most part, its brown and black.

However, when I look into my shoe closet, I notice that the vast majority of my heels are either brown or black. I do have a few pair of blue, red, and white, I still stick to my old habits. Part of it is women's shoes in my size (I wear an 11) are still a bit limited, but also I imagine it is part of my buying habit.

I own in more "exotic" colors: 2 red pumps, a pair of red peep toe pumps, a pair of red sandals, a pair of red boots, a pair of teal sandals, 2 pair of navy pumps, 2 pair of white pumps, a pair of gray pumps, a pair of bronze sandals, a pair of silver sandals, a pair of gold sandals, and a pair of animal print/gold sandals. Of these I have worn most of them out, but typically stick to the browns and the blacks when I wear heels out- particularly in daylight. Only about 25% of my heel collection is neither brown or black.

I was wondering what colors guys are buying and what colors you wear heeling. Please select any of the above colors that you own and please post any percentages of colors and what colors you choose to wear out, if any.

I tied to make the poll as comprehensive as possible, but please post any obvious omissions in your replies.

95% black, the other 5% all colors. I always wear black or brown out but mostly black.

Fordish!
Anyway, my colors are black and white, but I overly desire a pair of bright yellow heels.

Same here, But I do have 1 pair of brown boots and one pair of multi color sandles.

Black and brown for me, but mainly because I am not advertising my street heels. I also make sure to get heels that don't clack on the floor, same reason.

Otherwise, I do like white, perhaps red as well, and a few other earthy/darker colors.
