You might be the wrong guy to ask since your collection has a lot of unique pieces, but how do you wear your blue shoes? I’m considering a pair and trying to figure out if I would really reach for them vs black or brown calf. I have a medium sized rotation of ~10-12 pairs I wear to work four days a week so versatility isn’t a big deal. I just don’t want to buy stuff and leave it on the shelf.

Of course blue shoes are not as versatile as black and brown ones and they wouldn't be my first pair, but once you have built a pretty consistent collection, you could consider to add some quirkier colours, like blue indeed, or green.

Blue shoes combine well with grey trousers, not charcoal, but medium or light grey. Moreover, very good combinations are with tan, khaki, olive, taupe and many shades of brown.
