Once upon a time all the Navy and Marines wore brown shoes.
More precisely, at least when I was in, 1946-47 and 51-54, marines wore cordovan shoes. So dark brown they could pass for black. Worn with dress blues as well a greens and khakis. When I became a Midshipman, V-5 (aviation cadet) in 1949, we were issued black shoes to wear with khakis, whites, and blues. I believe in late 1963/early 1964 the Marines changed to black shoes. Last marine I saw, a couple of years ago, was wearing cordovan shoes. vince norris
