You said he wore a black suit and would not be caught dead wearing brown shoes! Ergo, I assumed you meant he wore his dress shoes from his appointment and bought brown shoes for the NTO.
I think (if I recall correctly) that JY said the reason he bought the shoes was to wear to the funeral. If that is the case, someone should tell him those those probably don't go well with a black suit.
IMO
