Loro piana as suit shoes

Hello guys,

Wanted to catch your feeling about this :

I can't stand with classic leather shoes that most people wear with their suits. It's only personal taste, but : Derby, Oxford, Brogue, Monk strap, I hate them all.
Same thing, I can't wear sneakers with suit, I find it so ridiculous. 

I work in a small boutique now, so suits are not compulsory, and there is really no dress code, I rarely wear a jacket, but I wear shirts and trousers, with open walks from LP. 
However, I may be switching to a BB or EB very soon and I was wondering about shoes. 
Is a full suit with open walk acceptable or would I look as stupid as a guy wearing sneakers ?

OP trolling? This whole post makes very little sense. 

  1. You think sneakers with a suit look ridiculous but are willing to do the open walk???
  2. When you say, "derby, oxford, brogue" you are describing a lot of shoes by a lot of talented makers. Not even one of them interests you? You sure about that?

I think you're making a lot of generalizations and should be looking a little more for different styles by different makers. You also didn't mention any loafers and I think just about any leather loafer style would be more appropriate with a suit than the open walk.
