Sheesh, from looking at the shoes on this thread, you guys are all such youngsters 
Not mine, but I have two pairs like these, in black and tan. Both are over a decade old and still going strong with the occasional resole. None of this ephemeral synthetic stuff for me*!

* For work/semi-dress shoes anyway. Trainers/gym shoes are another story.
Age has what to do with this?
Well, from what I've seen IRL, there's an inverse correlation between age and an attraction to brightly coloured footwear ;).
Not a criticism, even if you seem to have taken in that way? More an observation that I'm probably pretty far out of the average demographic for GH.
I was also a bit surprised by the complete lack of leather shoes, or shoes designed to last for ages so thought I'd mention mine for a bit of variety. At around a decade, one pair (which double as casual as well as work shoes) is now nicely broken in, the other pair still looks a bit new.
