Cool shoes, but are they acceptable?

1. Are these acceptable to wear with a suit?
2. What about business casual with khakis?
3. If they don't work for either 1 or 2, which of the Vinci's/Vinci Neons do you like the best for just a night out?

They are definitely not okay to wear with a suit. I wouldn't wear them with anything else, especially since there are so many better options for similar shoes in that price range.

Acceptable? Hell no! Dude; don't ever wear these type of shoes with a suit. If you're not going to spend more than $100 on your shoes go with something like this: http://www.zappos.com/robert-wayne-agusta-black?zlfid=111&recoName=zap_… http://www.zappos.com/robert-wayne-dhom-black?zlfid=111&recoName=zap_pd… http://www.zappos.com/fratelli-9055-chocolate?zlfid=111&recoName=zap_pd… http://www.zappos.com/steve-madden-eddun-black-leather?zfcTest=fcl%3A0 http://www.zappos.com/calvin-klein-gareth-2-black-dress-calf?zfcTest=fc… And if you want to spend a little bit more, I really like these http://www.zappos.com/lloyd-plain-schwarz?zlfid=111&recoName=zap_pdp_ac… But these are obviously all shoes that you wear at work, when you're wearing a suit. For the weekends in khakis and clubbing they wouldn't do well.

OP, ignore this man's advice. Square toe shoes are terrible. Look up allen edmonds park avenues. Find some shoes that look similar.

Maybe some allen Edmond strands if your at a more casual place.

Sidenote: I would get brown shoes for office use. Dark brown are extremely versatile in an office setting. Black should only really be worn with black pants or charcoal.
