Shopping Gripe - no blue shoes →[More:]

Why can't I find blue work shoes? I have blue pants, blue tops, why not blue shoes? Ok, maybe I could wear white shoes in summer, but geez. I've been looking for like, two years. I used to have a good pair. Something I can wear sox or nothing with, I don't do trouser sox. I have a pair of light blue flat slides, but they make me shuffle like a patient. Links?

Shoes by color couldn't help?

Zappos has a search-by-color thing too.

That's why I don't buy blue clothes*- I can never figure out what color shoes to wear with them. My entire wardrobe is based around black.

*Other then blue jeans, but that doesn't really count.

Thanks for the help, paulsc and box, but unless I see something I just LOVE (which I don't), I'm not going to pay that much for shoes + shipping. Thanks for validating my experience, TPS - they just aren't in stores like they used to be. I look good in blue, dangit!

Zappos' shipping is super-cheap, and they make returns very easy (no affiliation, just a satisfied customer) but I don't blame you for feeling that way--I've only used 'em for buying things that I already know I want, and that I already know will fit.
