I'm not wearing a suit but if I was I'd look good. Alternatively, if I was wearing dark denim, they would look just as at home

A shoe similar to the Lobb William that at least to me is suitable for suits, blazer etc. is the Lobb Wallace...(pictured black museum and dark brown museum)...

i prefer the black/silver pair over buffalo tan/brass. So much so that I wore them to a point where the stitching came off one of the straps.
