They are a bit showy but 100% OK here in CA.

Those are pretty nice. I've been mainly looking at Magnanni's which are a tad fashion forward, but they're awesome.
Here are the ones I'm thinking about right now http://www.magnanni.com/monk-straps/tegan-cuero
Yes.
I am not a huge fan of these personally, but I will say they are very popular here in Germany
I'm currently wearing something similar and yes no problem at the office. I wear brown shoes more frequently than black one..since I do not wear black suit that often..unless at black tie event.. else I usually wear gray or navy suits which I think looks better with brown/tan shoes.
Some advice I got is that brown dress shoes should not be worn with suits at formal investment banks. Fine for going out/clubbing, but not banking.
It's a stupid rule—but I've heard some people will judge you for wearing brown shoes in an interview. Not worth the risk.
I've actually had that happen to me at a super day - the interviewer took the time to look underneath the desk to see what color shoes I was wearing.
I've heard this same advice, yet I've met bankers that dress like they're editors at GQ (in a peacocking, flashy, unsubtle, and unprofessional way).
Meaning only wear black shoes?
Yeah
They're more for casual Fridays. Some of the older members wear black double monk straps, but I guess that's more subtle than a tan/brown monk strap.
I own a pair of black oxford double monks and like them a lot. They feel a bit showy in the beginning but after some wear and getting used to them they're great.
Next purchase will probably https://www.crockettandjones.com/lowndes-espresso-suede/</a">dark brown suede double monks.
Bump.

They're extremely fashion forward, you think these are appropriate for the office?
maybe if they were suede and it was casual friday
those are pretty savage though

Double bump
