    I wear lots of green (just like my avvy!) and I would say khaki would go well with red/black/browns/whites. It's actually quite a versatile colour.... like grey. I'd say go for it, especially if they are comfortable. One thing I Don't do is suffer for fashion any more!

    ETA: Actually I've just looked down and see that i'm wearing khaki coloured shoes ATM!!!! LOL they are Crocs, my gardening shoes... and they look quite good with denim too... hehe... compared to what I usually hang out in at home anyway!

    Snap!! Great minds Bath!

    Gosh all this talk of khaki has me getting flash backs from the 80's. So sure I had a khaki outfit that has some red in it. I say go for the shoes if you really like them.

    awesome , go get those shoes , Kahki can be worn many ways ... with red , black , white , denim , any thing with a bit of green in them really ...
    if you get the shoes , have a look for something that matches , like a top of 3/4 pants then you know you can wear the shoes and have something that goes with it !!!!!

    wedges are hot and i prefer them over heels anyday !! i have 4 pairs , in pink , black , bone and gold !!

    I'm with SUSE ... yep, khaki goes fantastic with cherry red & black ... or even a nice medium grey & red

    Khaki was a big fashion colour hit in the Summer of 1979/80 ... scary to think i can remember that far back & i remember shell belts looked great with khaki terry-towelling dresses (OMG, has that fabric ever come back again ... BUT geez it was darn comfortable) & the shoes were khaki too with a rope fabric look about the medium wedge heels ... maybe you could bring that fashion back ... I might add i was about 13 at the time, LOL !!

    Khaki always makes me looked tanned ... I LOVE IT

    If the shoes are comfy ... BUY EM

    Hmm. Okay then. I'll buy 'em! If they are still there tomorrow when I go there after my mw apt in the morning!

    To be honest, I wasn't expecting such an overwhelmingly positive response. Fashionally naive me...

    Summer of '79/80 ai? I was only born in 1979, so forgive me if I don't remember that.... I will add these wedges DO have the rope look fabric around the heel.... Not that I can see that when I'm wearing them really.
