These Church's too nice for SA?

Recently received a pair of black Church's cap toes from my uncle who's really into shoes. I realize they're $4-500 retail shoes and are probably way too nice for an SA to wear.

With that said, is it actually a big deal if I wear these for my internship at a BB? I mean, they're black captoes. To me, they don't look dramatically different from AE park aves. Is someone really going to be able to stare at an SA's shoes long enough to know they're Church's? It's not like I'm wearing bit gamo loafers, right?

I'd like to just wear these for the summer, as they're available and really comfortable too. I'd rather not have to shell out another $150 for Cole Haan captoes you know?

Let me know what you think, thanks.

For those curious, I think it's this model:

Why would it be a big deal? They're black cap toes. If anyone can actually tell how nice they are, and then gives you shit, I think it's more of a reflection on them. They're great shoes, just wear them.
