December 4 is Wear Brown Shoes Day

Hi Gita Bantwal - I was thinking the same thing as Nina Hollander . I have more than my fair share of shoes and none are brown!  My husband wears brown shoes though. He more than makes up for me!

History of Wear Brown Shoes Day

Really, it was something of a revolution, and a reclamation. Brown shoes are woefully underrepresented, but one should take a look at the places that they do exist. Brown shoes?

Brown shoes are on the feet of the most intrepid adventurers, with heavy brown leather shoes with durable soles guiding them into the wilderness to see where it takes them. Brown shoes? They were the absolute mark of a man who was both respectable, well-off, and yet relaxed enough to not need the high-polished shine of black patent leather to prove themselves.

No indeed, Brown leather shoes are the mark of those who are fully confident and own themselves, those who are not afraid to walk where angels fear to tread, whether in the world of business or in the great outdoors. Even better, brown shows that what you see is absolutely what you get, that’s why it’s the natural color of leather rather than being dyed to hide its true nature.

Want someone to know they can trust you? Wear brown shoes, especially brown leather shoes, because basic brown means basic confidence, basic trust. You know what else is great about brown shoes? They go great with just about anything, they stand out enough to make a statement without clashing with the rest of your ensemble.

How about one brown shoe and one black shoe?  Or, maybe no shoes at all?

In the Navy there were black shoes (ships) and brown shoes (aviation).  Who knew there was a day for brown shoes for everyone!???

Hmmmm...will beige  work ?  All out of  brown...wait...BOOTS !

Gita,

No brown shoes in my closet.  Ron has one pair for certain suits, and that is it.  A

Hello Gita Bantwal I wore a brown shoes today to celebrate the day.

I had my brown boots on all day. Does that count?

Wow, I must have been in sync. I just installed a Board of Directors and of course I wore brown shoes.

Well, I always wondered how do you find these mysterious days, so I signed up for the Peigon Magzine.
