Bass Brocktons are recommended quite a bit as a cheap, good looking suede shoe. If you have the money, however, go with the Buckingham.
It's a plain toe oxford affectionately known as a "buck"
Normally, they come in varying shades of suede; which is a type of leather with a napped (basically where the leather isn't sheared) finish.
Your best bet would be a pair of bass Brocktons, clocking in at under a hundred dollars.

Hope this helps.
You need to give a price range, not just say "a lot less". A lot less is still a $200 shoe. Just search for "suede derby" or "suede bucks" (although bucks may not be what you are looking for, they can be a cheaper alternative). Considering the summer is fast approaching you probably won't find a deal like you could once fall and winter come around again. Under $100 you're looking at brands like Bass, Bostonian and Florsheim. Here is a simple guide.
Now that I have said all that, please use the sidebar! I found probably your best under $100 option in about a minute in the "shoes" guide under footwear. Bass Buckinham in Navy.
If you have a simple question chances are it has already been covered several times, just use the sidebar and the search function.
These look similar and are pretty frugal.
Edit: whups, linked wrong shoes
Blucher mocs, wingtips, boots (option 2), chukkas (option 2), penny loafers, and bucks (option 2 & option 3) are all some great options.
If you can, try to introduce him to slimmer pants in a darker wash -- perhaps some 511's or 513's in 'rigid dragon' or 'bastion' respectively? Combined with some new shoes, he'll look great. :)
Need a belt to match these in taupe suede. http://www.amazon.com/Bass-BROCKTON-Mens-Brockton-Oxford/dp/B002U82Q20
Any tips? More casual look. With white/silver and navyish blue chinos. As you can tell by the shoes price point is pretty low.

*Or these if you want sneakers
$55 on Amazon. Though they were $38 just a few days ago. Prices seem pretty volatile.
As for the mocs, those are the cheapest I've seen. This being the alternative that I know of. :/
Suede Bucs are always good.

edit: I have a pair of Bass oxfords and I'm happy with them. they look nice and feel comfortable. just watch out for rain if you get something in suede
Don't wear Birkenstocks.
Can i match these camel cords with the taupe suede brockton bucks?
Also, what color socks would I wear then? I looked a little and should they be a darker brown?
You could go for some Bass Buckinhams
Or the bulbous version the Brocktons
Both are pretty good quality and the price isn't too bad either.
