Shoes - Loafers acceptable?
Would a Tod's leather loafer be acceptable for an analyst? Or do you have any other quality "slip-on" type business shoe? I can't stand shoes with laces because my pant gets stuck in them and I don't like how it looks.

Allen Edmonds.
Exactly what I was going to say. Get their black captoe and never look back.
And I'd think that you'll probably have to get used to laced shoes at some point. Idk why your pants would get stuck - maybe switch tailors?
This... American-made baby (in Wisconsin)! Also if the leather gets ruined you can send back your pair and they will stitch on a new one for $90.
I also like my Johnston Murphy's. They're less than half the price of Allen Edmonds and I've had a good experience with them. If you want to own a dozen shoes then get some Murphy's in your closet. If you want several pairs, invest in Allen Edmonds. I also like cordovan Brooks Brothers shoes. They're a little pricey and heavy but they will last a long time.
Tod's is too casual if you mean the gomminos. Those are driving shoes meant to be worn sockless, etc. You need a penny loafer so I suggest Fratelli Rossetti. You might be interested in monk straps as well, give that type of shoe a look.
Allen Edmonds Westchester in black and brown and don't look back if you're into that slip-on thing.
ferragamo or bust
Allen Edmonds & Fratelli Rossetti - Both very nice. Thanks!
blahwoop - ferragamos are nice but as an analyst I'm not so sure...

if you want laceups, AE but for loafers, I prefer ferragamos. However, get a feel for your group culture before springing for ferragamos. In my group, a bunch of analysts wear bit loafers and no one cares, because they do quality work and don't talk about their shoes. If you are in NYC check out nordstrom rack. They have some solid Bruno Magli bit loafers and if you are lucky, some ferragamo and gucci as well at significantly reduced prices.
I wore ferragamos in ops. Spent my entire bonus on a pair (had to dip into savings a bit actually, $475 is no joke even with the Saks friends and family sale).
i switched off park and 5th avenues for a while, but crockett and jones makes nice loafers if you want to change it up (they are pretty well regarded by my friends in london and are a younger man's british shoe). I never got the bit loafer thing honestly, and my foot is really thin (to the point of mis-proportion) so I actually stay away from the super skinny Italian shoes
Ferragamos might seem like a lot a little as an analyst but they last forever. Also, Cole Haan has some great dress loafers. Also a bit pricey but they have this deal where you can send them in, get resoled, refinished, and fixed up for like 50 bucks for life.
