For an office environment I don't think sandals are a viable option. I agree that slip-on loafers are the best option, either a penny loafer, a tassel one or a smooth vamp would work. If not too bulky, a suede oxford might work also.

I like pitt_transplant's post with the Clarks shoes. My wife got me into a pair of Clarks Unstructured, very pricey but worth every penny. I will jump at every chance to get Clarks shoes. Casual but yet professional looking.

Pick what feels good!

It is NEVER appropriate for a man to wear shoes without socks to work regardless if the clothing is casual.

Nautica sucks. Check into a Polo Outlet in your area or Brooks Brothers.

You should wear Penny Loafer(Weejuns) or Tassled Loafer. Another good look is Topsiders Tommy Bahama makes some sharp ones.

I'm a big Polo freak.

It sucks that I get to wear them only during the weekend. I pretty much gave up on casuals completely during the work week, coz I kind of felt that in the corporate world, respect comes and increases with the neatness of the formal wardrobe

For me, the best Polos come from Express and Abercrombie+Fitch. I did some Aeropostale and didn't quite like the way they fit.

I usually wear double Polos coz the light coloured ones end up somewhat transparent as I'm a brownie. My pals call this the douchebag norm

I generally go with shorts, for I don't prefer pants with Polos.

Shoes, I used to be wearing Skechers and Diesel casual shoes when it comes to Polos.

One of them looks the same but, completely white with light brown stripes.
Amazon.com: Skechers Men's Ultimatum Casual Sneaker: Shoes

Another pair is the same as here but kind of sea blue in colour
Amazon.com: Skechers Men's Klone Cronie Lace Up: Shoes

But recently I found the best shoes for the Polo outfit and I think this is the best I have ever had Compliments have been showering in.

K-Swiss, Inc. Online Store - Yigal Azrouel Skart: drizzle / gum (http://www.kswiss.com/item/148.11/01921-073/Men/Footwear_Special_Editions/Yigal_Azrouel_Skart/Drizzle_Gum.html - broken link)

Needless to mention, I'm a shoe freak with a 20+ pair collection and sort of increasing.
