My black socks don’t go with my white shoes.Black shoes do absolutely not go with shorts.
Under any circumstances.
You may think they do, but the folk looking at you are screaming inside .
Why do golfers buy white shoes?

Got a pair of black leather Adidas shoes when I took the game up again. Only wore them once and it looked like I was wearing a pair of football boots. Mostly white since then.
Current section is 2 whites (Adidas Tour 360 and Nike Vapor), one navy blue (Decathlon) for the mud in winter and a pair of Adidas Adicross ones that are black, grey and green. Those are summer only as they are mesh and not waterproof. Sometimes wear them with my black shorts with black sport ankle socks.

I still don't know why people need loads of pairs. I only ever run one summer pair and one winter pair. When one of them's knackered they get replaced. 
I think there is something 70's New York Huggy Bear about wearing white shoes. You can't get away with that in normal life but on a golf course.......?.
Bizarrely, they work in a way that defies logic but they just do. No issue keeping them clean, just don't leave them dirty for weeks on end.
I have one pair white and have just bought a pair of bright blue FJ, trainer style shoes. Haven't used them yet, it will feel odd for a while once I do.

That's a great question.
In the steel spike era, I would always have a pair of black and white wing tip saddles and a pair of brown and white wing tip saddles.
That's what my uncle did when I was a kid, so I did it too when I grew up.
Once the steel spikes were proscribed, I could never get accustomed to the soft spikes.
I switched to spikeless and chose more casual styles that I could wear from home without having to change shoes at the club.
If the steel spikes were ever allowed again, however, I'd go back to them in a heartbeat.

Baby wipes when I get in to take mud off the white shoes, shoe horns with those silicone gel pouches you get with white goods to take the moisture out (and newspaper if they are particularly wet) and then another wipe with baby wipe and into the box a few days after using them. All pretty pristine even after 4-8 years use. Every so often they get a coat of clear dubbin too

Only one thing worse than black golf shoes with shorts.......and thats brown golf shoes with shorts.
Actually.....brown golf shoes should never be produced. They don't go with anything

I have never worn a pair of shorts on a golf course, and I never will. But I do like white shoes.

They certainly do. Not only do they 'go', but they are essential when wearing your tweed plus fours.

Brown goes with loads of stuff. Even shorts.

I don’t give a hoot what colour shoes anyone wears but pleased I read the thread as I’m enjoying the image of a Huggy Bear, Angus Young, Terry Scott threeball.

I wear my spikes until they are knackered then buy another pair. I think I have a pair of brown (yes brown) studded soles shoes about somewhere, but I haven't worn them for years so they might just fall apart if I was to try.

Black shoes look absolutely terrible with White trousers.

I'd suggest I wear shorts more than most.... Don't wear black shoes, it's actually a local rule where I play. Just don't
The places I hit my ball today you definitely wouldn't have wanted to be in shorts to go and find it and then play it. Also my legs look like pale pipe cleaners so don't come out on the golf course. Makes shoe selection easier
