I also think that there are regional issues at play here as well. Brown shoes are frowned upon in London full stop (as I understand it--"No Brown in Town"), but are considered quite fashionable in other places. You must know these rules if you are going to do business in London and don't want to be considered a rube. In many places outside the UK brown shoes with a grey suit might well be considered acceptable for all but the most formal situations (I selected black shoes with my grey suit for my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend, for example).
