I think derbies, brogues, or oxfords are the way to go if you're trying to be fairly formal. That said, I generally go the route of slip-one, though not loafers, with suits.
-
Yep @tigerpac that is the convention–however, I think slip-ons can look fine with the right last, and generally when I'm in suits I'm traveling, so I go for things which can be rapidly removed and put back on through airport security. I have some Maglis that are basically featureless (no tassels, penny holder, etc) aside from a simple strap and have a last that is more reminiscent of what you pictured than a loafer, and to me they are perfectly appropriate for a suit, even by conventional sartorial standards (which I admittedly often ignore).
-
I think those Alden Blutcher are a shade too chunky to fit with a suit (am I right in thinking you want these for office use as well as black tie?). As I said before, look into Loake 1880. The Aldwych shoe is a plain toe with no broguing and looks elegant enough to pair with a variety of formal options.
And for the love of God, do not wear brown shoes with a business suit!
-
You can wear brown or burgundy shoes with a suit as long as it is the right color suit.

I really hate the look. To my eye, black is always a better colour for footwear whether your suit is navy, dark grey or a lighter grey.

wow the natural shell looks beautiful. reminded me why shell is my fav leather. do you know which tannery does AE uses?
-
How in the heck did you get them to use natural shell?
Was it from that MTO event?!
Hey Pac, long time no chat. How are you?
Yes, they were from their recent trunk show MTO event where you could use exclusive and rare shell colors. I couldn't pass up the chance – natty shell is a bit of a unicorn (as they say).

Thank you sir.
So, one of the absolute nicest guys I know from some other forums is the same size as me and managed to get 2 pairs from the recent Shoe Mart batch that came through. He knew I've been looking over a year for them so he gave me first dibs on the extra pair. Nice nice guy!
thanks though guys, much appreciated!
