Do these need to be worn with a suit or could they be worn for business casual with some quality dress pants and a dress shirt?

I don't think they are appropriate for the average work environment. I could see how they might look good with dressier jeans or odd pants for the weekend.

They are perfectly appropriate in any of those situations.

I'd wear them business casual, suit and jeans (not simultaneously of course

). Edit: Lawyerdad as usual is quicker than I to the draw.

I actually agree with Kasper on this one. I don't like that ridgeback with a suit. What the hell do I know though.

It's that fancy Belgian beer you drink - slows you down.
You should send it to me for proper disposal.

I'd wear them with suits, with slacks, with just about everything other than jeans.

Nevah!

It doesn't matter now. I tried to pick them up on the sellers forum and they were snapped up before I could get to them. I appreciate your opinions.

Not to rain on the parade, but The Rules do specify that balmorals are best worn with a suit.

Good for all occassions but rain.

Believe me, you're not raining on anyone's parade. Whoever got these shoes will live happily ever after

"The Rules." Right.

And I suppose 95% of the shoes that are actually worn in the work environment with a suit - big clunky, black, squared toe, rubber soled, kenneth cole-esque shoes - are appropriate?

The answer depends on whether you're comfortable wearing them and like the look. There is definitely nothing wrong about wearing them, even in a "conservative" environment, whatever that means.

BTW, i think those wholecuts would qualify as bals.
