Good Every Day Work Shoe?

[poofyhairguy]

Hey everyone! I need an every day work shoe that is:

-comfortable enough to wear five days a week
-works with dockers/slacks or jeans
-somewhat in style (like not the pleated pants of shoes)
-durable
-Less than $300
-Desk job indoors

Is it possible to get everything I want? I want to stop wearing tennis shoes to work every day.

Thank you in advance.

Only $300?

Not possible. You're going to have to bump that budget up to at least four grand.

For sitting at a desk, for waiting tables, for operating a printing press, or ... what exactly?

This is what I wear...

Everyday wear, and they are comfortable as hell. $139 at Tractor Supply maybe Academy sports. Not the steel toe version.

At less than 100.00 a pair you can buy a few pairs.

I have these in both brown and black:

Most comfortable non-boot footwear I've ever had.

IMO, definitely worth the price.

I'm on my second pair of Nunn Bush. Which sounds like some kind of Catholic porno mag.

They're not that great. Merely 'serviceable.' I wear them because I'm supposed to have nonskid shoes but I refuse to wear boots. And my job destroys shoes, so I prefer to spend little.

Durability, comfort, ect, would all rate about 5/10.

Kill't me about 100 Afghan's wearing these. Can even wear them in Jean's. People think twice when you're wearing these as a bonus, don't want to take a round-house kick to the face if you know what I mean.

I just tried some of the new crop of skechers at the mall and they were really comfortable

I have 2 pairs of these, brown and black. I wear them for work all the time with slack pants. Sometime on the weekends with jeans. They go well with slack pants and jeans.

How is it that no one has mentioned Allen Edmonds or Johnson and Murphy yet?

Redacted worry about their shoes. Men worry about the +5 damage to face of said shoe to the face.








OT allows a lot of leeway, racial slurs, gay/lesbian slurs is not one of them.

quoted for history...but you have it wrong. MEN don't worry at all about the +5 damage crap...only silly little boys worry about that shit.

I have a pair of these:

Pretty damned comfortable...and the velcro closures?

They're great for my daily walk...

 

[SlitheryDee]

I work in a pair of these.

Its the only thing that doesn't leave me in pain by the end of the day.

Just sitting at a desk.

They slide on and off easily, so you can be more comfortable sitting down.

If you want your shoes to last - buy two pair, never wear them two days in a row and use cedar shoe trees.

I always recommend Allen Edmonds - You can find quite a few on their website that are on sale for under $300.
