Non-gay fashion advice needed for my new shoes

[Lazy Meatball]

I bought some shoes at the Wrentham Outlets in MA today. Need some advice on how to wear them.

Exhibit A:
Merrill World Access $70


These will be primarily worn with scrubs at work. Scrub color is faggy hospital sky blue. Are white socks acceptable here or should I go dark/dress sock.


Exhibit B:
Puma Kugel Brown Shoe $40

only instead of tan it's a solid brown, and instead of a white stripe/accent it has black, so it really doesn't have as much contrast as the shoe above.

This will be worn for semi-formal going out to places. my question is, will this pass as a shoe for getting into clubs with dress code issues, or does it still qualify as a sneaker?

Also, could someone give me a run down on the black shoes/brown shoes rules. What can you wear with what? Jeans, Black Pants, khakis, should the belt match. And again what kind of sock should I wear.

Looking forward to general comments on my selection as well as finding out what other people are sporting. Feel free to turn this into an obscure trendy shoe brag post thread.


ps. I also have a pair of Puma Red Liga Suedes $60


and a pair of Adidas Black Shelltoes $60


both of which are worn for more casual purposes or with my baller wigger track suits
