Brown dress shoes have taken over as the staple shoe for men. They go with every color suit and can dress up or down with jeans, khakis or corduroys. Detailing is back in full force also. There are myriad styles available from cap toe, to detailed cap toe, to detailed wingtip, detailed monk strap, etc. Here are a few nice examples from Johnston and Murphy (my brown detailed cap toes are from there and they are incredibly comfortable and look great).

When shopping for your next pair of brown lace ups, beware. There is a wide range of toe shapes available, and most of them should never be worn in public. On the far left we have the pointy elven dress shoe commonly found in alligator skin and on Vegas poker players: (disclaimer- the shoes I used for examples here are unfortunate designs from a shoe store I quite like, so I won’t name names)

The far right is full of square toe lace ups that look more like robot shoes than human:

Aim for the middle ground. A nice tapering toe with a bit of a point but nothing that you’d knock over a table with if you took a quick turn.
