I'm not particularly fond of wearing brown shoes with navy, although it is perfectly acceptable. On the other hand, I do like pairing burgundy/cordovan shoes with a navy suit, and burgundy shoes can also be worn with dark charcoal gray suits/pants.
Wearing brown or burgundy shoes with gray or navy reduces the formality of the overall outfit. So while I have no problem putting on my burgundy loafers with some navy pants and a sport coat, if for example I'm headed to court I wouldn't wear anything other than black shoes with a gray or navy suit.
