Good Every Day Work Shoe?

[mrjminer]

I always get Dockers. They'll last a few years of daily use, or longer, depending on how good you want your shoes to look.

I think the pair I just replaced lasted 10 years and looked like it, but they were pretty comfortable.

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

They'll last twice as long that way

Every one has different taste.

But when I was working in an office, I was partial to Cole Haan.

A bit more casual but still comfortable would be Sperry Boat Shoes.

Best of luck,
Uno

I've had work boots from shoesforcrews.com and been happy. They sell dress shoes as well.

Red wing Beckman boots.

Before i tried the new skechers, i always wore Merrell's

Can't go wrong with a Clark's Desert Boot. Can get two/three colors at the price point you want.

Comfortable and look good enough for most work environments and for casual wear.

This is what I wear...

Is it still snowing or does the ground where you work look like Metro2033?

I'll see you on the battlefield...friend.

Johnny badass talks about putting boots into the face of people. *IF* you were in the armed forces you're going to have a tough time adapting to real life. 99% of people you find out there don't care about whether you can beat somebody up, or kill them, they care about how you can NOT do that to people and look respectable while doing it.

Grow up.


As far as normal shoes, I have many pair of AEs that are well broken in and do very well. They are extremely comfortable if you order the proper size and break them in.

Look at some basic Doc Martens

Clarks are great. Go to the store a try a few different ones on.

The latter :^D

Another vote for Clarks. Cheap. Reasonably stylish. Can take some legit wear. Pretty comfortable.

I'm a fan of Born for everyday wear that has a classy comfortable and unique look. Prices are reasonable too. Most pairs fall into the $100 to $150 range so you could possibly pick up a couple pair and still be in budget.

I've had excellent luck with the Ecco Fusion line

I have one pair (brown) that I've owned for 4 years. Wore it 3-5x a week over that time in rain, snow, slush and even used it for light hiking. Its been to numerous countries with me and has great traction for that style of shoe if that matters. Sole has held up really well. Just started cracking about 2 months ago but I figure I'll still get another 6-12 months out of it

Maybe things have changed in the last 3 years but I was never able to get more than a year of wear out of them (If even that much) before they needed to be replaced

Guess it depends on activity? I walk a few miles a day in mine and they're worn, but hardly too worn after 3 years now. I rotate though, have four pairs. So if you're only using one pair perhaps they do.

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.

Haha. Supposed to be longer...something about letting them air out for a bit increases life.
