$600 for summer shoes help me pick some out please

I am purchasing new shoes for summer, my budget for them is $600. These would be just for casual use during my summer away from college. I have the basics and some preppier things and seem to be heading in that direction at least during the summer months.

I live in MN and am a freshman in college, my summer job is security guard where I plan on wearing raws, t-shirts, and white sneakers. I currently have white canvas Jack Purcells, grey target converse, chippewa gq's, my late grandfathers sorels, and redwings.

For shirts I have a [tonal oxford jcrew shirt] (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_special_shops/slimshop/PRDOVR~93810/99102848694/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~15~~20+16+4294967293~15~~~~~~~/93810.jsp), [pacific turquoise] (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shirts/washedfavoriteshirts/PRDOVR~50198/50198.jsp), [white] (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shirts/washedfavoriteshirts/PRDOVR~97894/97894.jsp), [light blue] (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shirts/oxfordshirts/PRDOVR~60763/60763.jsp), [these] (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-print-long-sleeve-shirt/075828-13-004?ref=mens-clothing%2Fmens-tops%2Fmens-casual-shirts) shirts in both colors, and finally a [navy] (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-oxford-slim-fit-long-sleeve-shirt/076081-11-006?ref=mens-clothing%2Fmens-tops%2Fmens-casual-shirts) OCBD.

For pants [uniqlo] (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-slim-fit-chino-flat-front-pants/075305-12-035?ref=mens-clothing%2Fmens-bottoms%2Fmens-pants) in olive and light green, and [jcrew urban slims] (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/pantsbyfit/urbanslim/PRDOVR~24976/24976.jsp) in graphite, khaki, smoke red, and melted caramel, [UB 201's] (http://blueowl.us/scripts/psp/VB_Bridge3.dll?VBPROG=\bin\shop.prodt.detail&SKU=7991200) that are too big, and plan on buying [momo 702's] (http://blueowl.us/scripts/psp/VB_Bridge3.dll?VBPROG=\bin\shop.prodt.detail&SKU=7960000).

I plan on purchasing [navy] (http://oakstreetbootmakers.com/footwear/navy-suede-red-brick-trail-oxford) suede trail oxfords. they are 300 dollars, but would they fit in with my wardrobe, because I feel like I might have too much navy? which leaves me $300 for some nice beef roll penny loafers I was thinking [rancourt] (http://www.rancourtandcompany.com/men-s-1/penny-loafers/beefroll-penny-loafers-natural-chromexcel.html) but I know natural chromexcel will change color and darken which I worry about, because I am worried about matching them with my smoke red chinos alternatives? Thanks for any input!

tldr; $600 for shoes [navy] (http://oakstreetbootmakers.com/footwear/navy-suede-red-brick-trail-oxford) suede trail oxfords and [rancourt] (http://www.rancourtandcompany.com/men-s-1/penny-loafers/beefroll-penny-loafers-natural-chromexcel.html) beefroll penny loafers? thoughts?
