I was gonna make a comment about leather crocs, but apparently that’s a thing.

These aren’t Crocs. They look a little bit like Doc Martens but the guy is much more expensively dressed and accessorised than that.

Actually, those aren’t bad. I think they’re more jeans and sport coat kind of attire, rather than suit, but at least they are oxfords, not brogues, and have a cap toe rather than the pointy hipster crap.

It's the laces that belong on a pair of Redwing work shoes that ignite the safety flares. If he'd been wearing them with jeans, I wouldn't have noticed them, most likely. And he had on powder-blue socks.

That's a generous term in this case.

I'm going to be super pedantic here: Oxfords can be brogues, and most brogues are oxfords. I think you mean Derbys.

That model is re-evaluating all of their life choices up to this point.

Loud shoes or loud laces , but not both.

The shoes themselves are marginal. It’s the laces that relegate them to total shit. Still not as bad as the dress shoes with no socks craze in my office. Maybe. Don’t know. Someone needs to start showing my co-workers Miami Vice to show the only correct way to go sockless with a suit. There must be linen.

Oxfords have closed laces at the bottom, open laces make them derbys. Brogue just means the stenciled holes around the toe or sides.

Brown or tan shoes go great with blue pants, it's those mustardy laces that make it look so bad. Navy laces on those would probably look fine.

the “fun laces and socks” bullshit has gotten out of control.

You can wear brogues with a suit in my opinion as long as they’re nice.

Open laces = blucher.

I can see your point, there.

Huh. I was pretty sure that oxfords were smooth, and brogues specifically pertained to the stitched pattern, or brogue, on the shoe. So brogues may be a modification of an oxford, but add the stitched details and it’s no longer an oxford, but a brogue. Is that incorrect?

I actually did not know about the laces. Learn something new everyday.

Once should never were brogues. Ever.

You and I are on precisely the same page with this. And wearing linen is not to be taken lightly.

The shoes need to be uniformly dark. The laces also need to be dark and much thinner. The injection-molded should screens “Casual!” A catastrophic wardrobe malfunction.

Jerry Seinfeld wears running sneakers with jeans and a suit jacket and I just wanna slap him for it.

Agree that thinner laces are dressier, but laces don’t necessarily have to match the shoes. Navy laces on tan cap toes go well with a blue suit, for example.

Those are fine laces and those shoes would have worked well with his suit. But those particular laces would have been too thin for the (dreadful!) shoes he was wearing. Khakis or jeans or leave those shoes at home. But a thinner, non-contrasting lace would have controlled the damage.
