Any suggestions for zero drop (or close) men’s shoes that would be appropriate to wear with a business suit?

http://theprimalprofessional.com/ is probably your best best. Expensive but very well made.
Here’s a collection of other options: http://minimalistrunningshoes.org/dress-business-casual-minimalist-shoes
I have the VivoBarefoot Gobi, and find that the tightness of the ankle area in the design gets in the way of my squat form, but the Primal’s look pretty good -

another option if you’re not willing to wait until May for a pair of Primal’s

I have a pair of the VivoBarefoot Ra II. I’m in more of a business/casual environment, so you’ll have to make the call if they’re appropriate for your dress code.

I emailed the team about it a while back and was told that they were preparing to make a video (probably MWod Pro) about it. So we’ll keep our eyes out there. I’m interested in this as well.

Vivobarefoot makes several. The Lisbon is pretty pricey like the primal professional but is a little less bulky and has a wider toe box. Also check out lems shoes http://www.lemsshoes.com

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’m in the Corporate headquarters of a multi-billion $ fairly conservative company so the Primals are probably the way to go.

Ben Sherman also makes some shoes that are very close to zero drop. I have a pair of these Mayfair Oxfords (in black) and they’re the first pair of dress shoes I’ve owned that let my feet move like, well, feet (vs. the usual “strapped to two 2x4s” feeling of such footwear).
