I went for a browse through my recent outfit photos; maybe this would help. Sometimes shoe color makes a column, and sometimes it stands out.
1. Navy skirt, navy tall boots.
2. Green dress, black shoes. I could have worn green shoes, but I didn’t feel like it. These are black shoes, and there’s no black elsewhere in the outfit; but they’re not very solid shoes. To me they didn’t look visually too heavy.
3. Navy tall boots and navy leggings. I think this qualifies as a column of color.
4. Being very Christmas-y this day, with green top and bag, red jewelry, belt, and shoes, and black skirt. The red shoes are echoed in the belt and jewelry. Green or black wagons would have worked as well, it would just change the balance of the outfit.
5. Another column, this time black skirt and heels. Visible skin, so it’s not as solid. Red shoes would work as well, they’re just not what I was feeling that day.
6. Somewhat different, dark purple dress with pearly blush shoes. The shoes are very low contrast with my skin, but also pick up the pale pink in my brooch and earrings.
7. A very colorful outfit. Black shoes, balanced by the black belt. I tried this with white booties and belt and it didn’t work at all. I wouldn’t have liked the black shoes if there wasn’t a black belt, though.
8. Burgundy dress and boots with black tights.
9. Dark teal dress with tan boots. Another of the few occasions where shoe color doesn’t exist in the rest of the outfit. Though it does sort of bookend my hair. Unlike others, I very rarely bookend.
