Are these loafers too casual?

http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-howland-penny

Would something like this (in black) be too casual for the office? I would have a pair of AE oxfords for client meetings and such, but was wondering how these would work for day-to-day wear since they're more comfortable.

Depends what type of office naturally but I would think they are too casual for anything but a Friday at some banks.

This response approximately describes my office.

Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
 

I wear drivers with jeans, but only on Friday and thats only when we do anything casual. Those look nice, but I'd stick with loafers for normal work wear.
