Cole Haan Oxford Sneaker Hybrids?

I am wondering what people think of wearing the Cole Haan Oxford/Sneaker hybrids at work when not going to client (or other important) meetings?

For those that do not know, these are oxford uppers mated to subtle sneaker soles. Here is the more subtle one: https://www.colehaan.com/mens-originalgrand-wingt… And the more aggressively soled one: https://www.colehaan.com/mens-zerogrand-wingtip-o…

I feel like they, particularly the more conservative soled ones, would be reasonable for day to day office use when not wearing a suit. (particularly in more walking oriented cities) along with dress pants/ khakhis and a button down shirt, but I would like to know what everyone else thinks. I walk about a mile a day during my commute and wear shoes out fast. I feel like this would be a good solution to either burning through mediocre dress shoes or swapping out of sneakers daily, when nothing important is happening.
