I prefer loafers because they're versatile and quicker to put on. Also, the trend is going towards loafers (narrow, high "tongue" - forgot what it's called, monk straps, etc.). Don't rule out shoes with laces though. If you're considering about getting a pair, get a pair of oxfords. They're a classic essential to any shoe collection. Laces do not cheapen nor enhance the value of any shoe, it's a matter of preference and how you pull them off. Loafers used to be considered less formal and classy, hence they weren't as popular in the workplace. However, that is no longer the case.
