Will I get wear out of these or should I go with brown?

They look very brown-like for a kind of berry colour. Are they brighter irl? If by practical you mean rain, they look dark enough to take some rain.

It’s a colour that goes well with navy and probably denim but I suspect quite limited in other respects.

They're kind of a maroon in real life. I'm thinking they would work with white and with denim, but brown is probably a more versatile choice.

@dudsville Not really worried about rain, more about if they'll go with a lot of things.

I have browny - burgundy boots, that go with a surprising amount, but they are winter boots, so that might only really apply to the black/navy/grey that makes up my winter wardrobe!

They are kinda old lady looking. My nan would have worn those bless her.

I know they are Gucci, but still.

the colour for me is more Autumn or winter I like pastels or brights for spring and summer.
must admit the style is a bit old fashioned

Surely they're just a basic pair of loafers?
