Ferragamo oxfords- give off the wrong impression?

Got Ferragamo black oxfords as a gift for work, but I want to make sure that I don't give off of the wrong impression given that I am an incoming 1st year analyst. It says "Ferragamo" in very small lettering...return them or don't worry about it/no one will give a sh*t or notice?

Speaking from personal experience, you'll be judged on your work and effort. Unfortunately I believe this is not always the case. I wouldn't wear them in your first week, gauge the atmosphere in the office and you'll be able to make a more informed discussion.

 

As long there is no BIG logo, forgetaboutit and wear them. Small letters are fine (no red font hope). Oh, and I assume they are conservatively styled, so no square toe, patent leather or other designer crap "improvement"?

 

Et labore enim amet deleniti veniam. Sunt voluptatem facere veniam doloribus quos repellendus autem et. Ut dolore illum dolor cum placeat est. Et nulla id inventore. Non odit fuga quas et corrupti reiciendis unde.
