Which shoe colors are prohibited for men and women to wear on a daily basis? I keep hearing from my elders that black, green and certain other colors are not worn by Shias, is this true?
It is permissible to wear any color shoes provided that the chosen color does not subject a person to humiliation in front of others, or in the case of a woman, if wearing makes her prone to falling into sin, or she wears a certain color to attract the opposite gender and seduces them into unlawful gazing. Yes, there are narrations that consider wearing black shoes detestable (makrooh).
