Getting first brown paraboot michaels, which one?

I know this is gonna come down to "get what you want" and what i want is a brown paraboot but im not sure which of these 2 to get. I think one works better than the other depending on what i match it with or even occasion, but cant pinpoint exactly what those are. For reference my wardrobe rotation currently goes like Bottoms - indigo selvedge denim - olive pants in cargo or olive pants in cotton/linen blend - black jeans Jackets - beige work jacket black twill blouson Black bomber jacket Dark Brown a2 leather jacket Dark green denim jacket Indigo denim jacket Black denali jacket And under the jacket ill usually wear a plain black t shirt, plain white t shirt, or a grey sweatshirt

in certain contexts, I think my eyes/brain tend to read darker browns as more elegant and medium browns as more casual/rugged. so if i had to pick myself, if i wore more workwear/americana stuff, the lighter one. if i wanted to wear it with some darker/traditional tailoring, the darker one. but you can still get away with either in both contexts you can also just look at pictures of people fits that you like with the clothes that you tend to wear, and see which shade of brown shoe you like best with what they are wearing

I like the lightest of the three most

I just ordered a pair that got delivered today. I'm pretty sure they are the ones on the right. I like the lighter ones too. There's a really light brown suede pair that's really cool too. I almost got that.

I vote these. I had the maroon/wine ones and didn't love them. I get more mileage out of my dark brown pebble grain pair but again it's totally personal preference. Most of my inspo contained leather shoes in darker colors and that played out in my fits as well

Mine ended up being the darker ones. They look good though

I think so. I got them from Cettire and their color just says brown. But they look more like the gringo than the cafe. Though their website photo looked more like cafe.

I sized down 1 size. They fit good. I have some insoles I normally use and they don't fit great, but I don't think going up would have helped.
