In a conservative workplace, the senior staff will still almost exclusively stick to tried and true colour combinations: black shoes, black suit; black shoes; navy suit. If a young new hire switches up black shoes for brown, along with other more contemporary choices, they'll attract attention to themselves for making more bold fashion choices, when they should be trying to stand out for quality of work.
I'm not saying brown shoes don't look attractive with a black or navy suit, I think they do. In my experience, they simply wouldn't serve a person working in a conservative professional environment well. I always consider who my meetings are with when considering my clothing choices, and I've been served well by that practice so far. You're welcome to differ in your opinion.

Hardly, my internet use consists of Revscene, Facebook, and a sport related forum. I've not read any rules on the internet, they're just common knowledge among my social circles. If I'm going out in the evening, I instinctually feel brown shoes look out of place, regardless of any unwritten rules.
