Out and about, I notice men wearing brown shoes with grey or navy suits. Is this okay? I would think that black would be more appropriate for such suits.
Absolutely 100% A-OK, very stylish. Brown suede is especially nice with grey. I'll even wear tan shoes such as Alden British tan tassel mocs with navy suits; I get lots of compliments on that. Sometimes I wear medium brown lace-ups with black trousers and a sportcoat whose pattern includes both brown and black, and that works great, too.Out and about, I notice men wearing brown shoes with grey or navy suits.

Ditto, I've done exactly that. As recently as last friday in fact.Sometimes I wear medium brown lace-ups with black trousers and a sportcoat whose pattern includes both brown and black, and that works great, too.
I love burgundy, too, with just about everything.My personal preference runs toward the oxblood/cordovan/Burgundy end of the brown pallette, but I see no problem with brown/tan with navy or grey.
For me brown shoes with grey are just too similar to the style of old men in England and Sweden.
