Hello ACC, this is Tristan10 and here is a guide to shoe colors! I am still working on this.

How do I change my shoe color
To change your shoe color, you need to have finished Tom Nook's work. Then you need to go to the City by riding the bus. Press "A" while facing the sign on the platform to get a ride.

When you are in the city, walk to the right and north and you will see a Skunk sitting on some steps infront of an abandoned building. His name is Kicks. You can talk to Kicks and get your shoes shined by Color and Style. I will talk about these later. Remember, shoe shining costs 500 bells, so bring some cash!

By Style
If you select "By Style" your shoe color will change depending on the clothing you are wearing.

Today I was wearing the Hero's Outfit. Since "By Style" gets you a color depending on your shirt, I got green shoes.

Red Shirt = Red Shoes
Blue Shirt = Blue Shoes
Yellow Shirt = Yellow Shoes
Green Shirt = Green Shoes
White Shirt = White Shoes
Black Shirt  = Black Shoes
Brown Shirt = Brown Shoes
Orange Shirt = Orange/Redish Shoes

By Color
If you choose by color, your hair color will depend on the color of shoe you get. NOTE: If you are wearing a hat, the color of your hat will determine your shoe color.

IE: I have Blonde Hair, so when I chose "By Color" when talking to Kicks, I would get Yellow Shoes.

The same colors apply with "By Style".

Special Shoe Colors
Now I am not 100% sure on this, but I have a theory.

If you are wearing a multi-colored shirt or preferably something from GracieGrace, when you select "By Style" or "By Color" you will get a combination of blue and red or something with your shoe color.

YES hats can be bought at GracieGrace to.
Please confirm this.
Thank you!
Thankyou for reading and I hope this guide helps you.

When I was playing yesterday, I was wearing a predominately orange shirt and I had orange hair. Regardless if I selected by color or style, my shoes were blue (which they were to begin with).

I chose by colour yesterday when I had red hair, I had nothing in it, but he changed my shoes to blue. Also, my uncle chose by style when he had an Orange shirt on, but his shoes changed to black.

I was wearing a leopard shirt and brown glasses. I have brown hair. The shoe color I got was green. I selected by style. That doesn't make sense to me that I would get green shoes.

The shoe color/style I've got never went by this guide. I had on beret,
brown herringbone shirt, brown glasses by Gracie and I got purple
flats. When I had on all purple, I got black & white shoes. But when I
had on mismatched items, I got brown espridrills.

No offence, but this is pretty wrong. I've got my shoes shined everyday since I got the game. I wear multiple shirt colors everyday.
Two days ago, I was wearing a blue shirt. Got my shoes shined, and they were black.
Yesterday. I was wearing a black shirt. My shoes were blue. Today, I was wearing a black and white pattern I made. I got the same black shoes as two days before.

Not saying this guide is not false or anything, but I think it does deeper down than just a simple shirt color.

I seem to recall one of the city folk speculating about what was behind the door he's loitering in front of.

So aside from changing shoe colors Kicks is useless, right?

Yeah the color you get seems pretty random.  Of course it's not, but I think it will take a heck of a lot of research and a long time before we can get a completely accurate guide.

There are so many variables--hair color, hat color, shirt color, and do accessories play any role?  For now I'm just going to experiment until I get a color I like.

Yes we need more information before I can revise this. This guide is about 50% accurate. I made this off of personal experiences.

I will try to find it in my guide.

Oh my gosh.... I keep trying to tell you guys, that if you choose style, it changes your shoes back to default. I have tested it.

We have a conclusion that By Style gets your original shoe color.

Hello, everyone. (: This MIGHT clear things up a bit.
I found it at an AC:CF walkthrough guide, link HERE.

I've divided it up a bit it to make it easier to understand, hope it helps!

Kicks' Place
==================

Location: East (map location KX)
Purpose: Changing the appearance of your shoes
Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Price: 500

Kicks is a skunk that sits on the stoop of a boarded-up
building, shining shoes for five hundred Bells.

You havethe option to match the shoes to your outfit by color, or
by style.

When matching by color, Kicks will style your shoes
according to the color most prevalent in your outfit. If you
have a blue shirt with green sleeves, green glasses, and brown
hair, Kicks will make your shoes blue. However, if your hair had
been green, of if you had been wearing a green hat, that would tip
the scales in favor of green shoes.

When matching by style, Kicks will use either use the pattern
of your shirt, or the color ratio of your outfit.
For example,
if you're wearing vertical stripes, Kicks will give your shoes
vertical stripes. If your shirt has no discernable pattery, he
will try to match the color ratio; that is to say, if your outfit
if exactly half black and half white, he will choose a style that
is exactly half and half, in colors of his choosing. If either
color makes up more than half of your outfit, Kicks will mirror
this in your shoes, making them a solid body color with straps
or laces of a different color. If you are wearing a full set of
clothes, such as Wrestler, Kicks will choose a preset style to
match it.

If you are wearing the same outfit as the last time you
had your shoes shined, and choose the same option
, Kicks
will buff your shoes without changing how they look, and
won't charge you for it.

Hope I helped; This seems to be a perfect guide for me!

This still makes no sense. I had on Beret (brown), glasses from
Gracie (brown), blonde hair, brown herringbone shirt (brown) and I
asked for style (I wanted brown shoes) and I got purple flats w/black
footless tights.

If you have a prevelant design, Kicks will mirror that design, I think.
Does he mirror the design, no matter what the color is?

I went to him with red-riding hood shirt (white w/red), star cap (pink w/
blue), and Gracie glasses (brown). I choose color and got brown
esspidrilles w/white socks. Then I went home and put on the brown
outfit that I described earlier and looked Great!!
