How do I wear colored men's shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Wear with jeans and a shirt in non-matching, non-clashing colors. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with your orange and blue example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you could wear those with a shirt in black, white, grey, a lighter shade of blue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yellow, or any other color that doesn't exactly match the shoes, but doesn't clash with their colors. Patterns are your friends here, too, as are t-shirts with writing or designs on them. Good luck!

The rule I've heard (for men, but it can work for women,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too) is "two plains and a fancy." Your shoes will be the "fancy" so I'd wear more understated/neutral shirts/pants (although I wouldn't wear blue and orange shoes with earth tones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], really).

I agree with Decathecting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I don't think you have to limit yourself to jeans. These type of shoes are often worn with khakis and similar pants. The key is a more casual style of shirt (can be button-up, but printed/patterned; screened T's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.).

you're over-thinking this. just wear them! yes, with jeans. but dark jeans. don't be matchy matchy with shirt colors, is all-that tends to look gross and corny even on women.
fyi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the shoes that ebay search pulled up are conservative by nyc standards; even tech startup nerds here (the ones that are advanced enough to not just wear chucks) rock more colorful stuff than that. you will look like a preppy jerk trying to be street if you wear them with polo shirts instead of t-shirts though, or if you wear them with (ugh) khakis, which is fine if that's what your style is anyway but keep it in mind.

To my eye, those look like sneakers, which would fall into the "they don't match because they're not really part of an outfit" bit of clothing. If you were talking about dress shoes, that might matter, but sneakers are (in my opinion) an article of clothing that isn't expected to be matched to anything else.

Blue sneakers can go with just about anything. With orange there's much more potential for clashing, so you have to be more careful; yellow, blue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], beige, grey, or white could go well.
As others have said, the expectations are pretty low for sneakers to "match" with the rest of an "outfit." If you're dressed totally casually (cheap jeans and t-shirt), no one will care. If you're a little more dressed up (nicer jeans, casual sport jacket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.), it's still OK for the sneakers to not quite match. A little incongruity can be good, as long as it's not clashing eyesore.

My friend has a pair of bright pink shoes that he wears with everything and anything. He once wore them to a wedding rehearsal dinner (he was the photographer) and the couple requested that he wear them with his suit to the wedding. Play around with the schemes listed. Keep different colors within the same intensity/shade. Or for a level-up, go all monochromatic but in different shades. But if you're just going to throw on a polo with some colorful shoes, at least try to pick a complimentary color. No one will be studying your color usage but if you're worried about "clashing",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an intuitive understanding of what looks good can be learned from a handy dandy color wheel!

Have you been to the Diesel website,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? Check out the "Collections" view on their site (or any other brand you like) to see the shoes as part of a complete outfit.

I'm a girl, and I wear colored casual shoes with just about anything unless they specifically clash. I see shoes as more "shape" oriented than "color" oriented, if that makes any sense. I don't see why the same wouldn't be true for guys.
The only time you have to worry a little is in a more formal context, in which case I don't think colorful shoes are apropos for dudes unless you are attending a clown's wedding or something.
