[zhane]

Bumpz. Hi guys, any new insights into what kind of shoes would be most stylish and appropriate for working executives.

majority of e pple i see are wearing loafers though

i actually like the high cut boots-like shoes.
pair up with a slim fit pants and you'd look good imo

I think loafers may look a little too casual for professional business setting. An oxford is more appropriate. Can have some brogueing to add some flair

not all non shoe-laced shoes are considered loafers

But all are informal/casual.

Agree with Bro atypical. I rotate wearing 4 pairs of black oxfords for work (brogues, plain captoe, semi brogues). When I feel like looking more causal, I wear a brown oxford. Loafers are for Fri-Sun

If it is only slightly larger, a thick insole may help.
I would be very interested to hear remedies from others too for instances where the loafers are more than just atad larger

Thanks for the suggestion
I forgotten to mention. I have already added insoles and tried wearing a thick pair of socks but the problem still persists..
Damn.. The problem doesn't exist with my cap toe shoes of the same size.. Lacing up the shoe really makes a difference

Yesh .... Slip-ons are not formal, with the exception of Chelsea boots.

Haha. I think no need to be in the finance sector to have a few pairs of oxford for rotation. The gd shoes just last so long (esp when you wear them in rotation with others). I have a pair from ten years ago - still going strong!

 

[atypical]

Yeah, why let the finance sector call all the shots and have all the fun?

 

[exxondus]

Yesh .... Slip-ons are not formal, with the exception of Chelsea boots.

wah sei, i better keep this thread from all the companies in the world least they start to say all formal wear MUST be with lace shoes

According to wiki, Oxford is the most formal, follow by Monk, then Derby. Nothing mentioned about dress loafers, but according to a professional image consultant, a pointed tip black dress loafer is the very minimum that is acceptable.
