2015 shoe thread

I know this has been covered before, but it's been awhile, and members change, etc.

I've had the luxury of jeans and sneakers for a year and a half, but my new role will require business attire. So I'm looking for fancy stuff that is still comfortable. If this was Reddit, I'd put a "Serious" tag on it... but my point is, I'm not asking if you get to wear sandals or those dumb shoes with the toes..

I need a nice shoe, that goes with dress slacks, and won't make my feet cry

Mendon Brown Leather - Mens Loafers and Slip On Shoes - Clarks

Those are my go to. Comfortable and cheap enough to buy new pairs when they get worn down.

Anyone else wear cheap or beat up dress shoes when working with heavy equipment or working in the server room? Nothing pisses me off more than scuffing up my expensive dress shoes. I even set a server down on my shoe one time by accident and tore a chunk out of the leather. Grrr

Yep I keep an old pair of APT9 shoes that look good and have that nice worn leather polish look but I could care less what happens to them.

Allen Edmonds. Get the Park Avenue and then get something else later on.

+1 Love my AE's. I skipped the classic Park Ave's and got a pair of chucka boots. I wear them all day, everyday and frequently walk 5-7 miles a day in them. Zero complaints and they feels great. Made in the US, top notch customer service and they will last at least 10+ years. They can be "re-crafted" to make them look and feel new again for less than a new pair. If you can spare the upfront expense, they are great shoes in every category.

If the problem is cushion you can try Nunn Bush with comfort gel.

I got me my first pair of Nunn Bush yesterday and I got to say they are awesome. My timberland are starting to show their age so got me new ones. I'm happy so far with nunn bush

I'm a fan of Johnston and Murphy. They are a little bit pricier, but extremely comfortable. If you take good care of them, then they will last a long time. I usually have my shoes treated at the airport at least every other month ($6)

Helps that there is an outlet store near me where they are pretty cheap:

Johnston & Murphy - Premium selection of Men's shoes, Women's shoes, accessories and gifts.

I like to wear shoesforcrews when i'm not feeling the chucks. Has saved me from busting my rump walking into the data centers in the rain before. Been wearing them since working in grocery stores.
