No, you don't want a closed vamp (or Oxford) for your first shoe, especially if you are going to combine them with casual outfits. Get something like Corsi said - a boot, or you should get a big clunky Blucher shoe (open vamp).

I just bought those Alden Dovers. Like, Corsi, I own a lot of Alden. Best shoes. Great fit. I've had some pairs for over ten years and they are still going strong.
