Re: black tie with brown shoes, I agree with you completely. However, Giuseppe from An Affordable Wardrobe has rocked a black knit tie with a tweed jacket and brown shoes on at least one occasion (Tumblr won't let me post links in questions, but it's the "All in the Details" post from March 3rd 2011)

Interesting. I guess it’s just a matter if you think mixing black and brown is a good idea. I generally don’t. He went with a dark burgundy brown shoes, not walnut brown, for what it’s worth. 

I still don’t think that a black/white herringbone jacket goes well with brown shoes. You might as well just go with black longwings in that case.
