What kind of footwear to you guys wear on a common, daily basis? This can be for anything - casual, sports, business, etc. Feel free to post pictures of course. Smile I'm surprised there wasn't a previous thread on shoes, so here it is.Party

Just got a sweet pair of these Madrid model Macbeth's. Really comfortable, perfect fit and they look great. Not a bad price as well - $ 79.99 Canadian. I get a new pair of shoes every single year, and I previously used to always purchase Vans or Converse, but this a great find!

Right now, these:

Asics Gel Kayano 17.

They're great shoes for running/exercising and such, and they're comfortable for everyday wear as well.

I usually wear my shoes for five or more years.  I currently cut grass in a pair of Nikes that are over ten years old!  Shocked

I have a pair of New Balance (great tennis shoes and very comfortable), some brown dress shoes, the black dress shoes I got married in, and flip flops. 

Safe to say I don't really do shoes.  LOL

Oh, I have a pair of these:

And I have a brown pair of Puma knockoffs which are now ratty and uncomfortable.

Most of the shoes I own now are slip-ons.  I walk funny, and when I wear shoes with laces, they come untied in a matter of seconds.  So I made a conscious decision not to buy any more shoes with laces, so I don't have to re-tie them 50 times a day.  I even have laceless Doc Martens.

I don't do flip-flops or man-sandals.  I just don't.

LOL My apologies Rob. Big smile Nice shoes by the way! The ones that you posted are quite similar to a pair of dress shoes I have. I don't wear them too often; only to weddings, very rarely, church Wink and formal events.

I have a found a solution to your problem:

LOL Crocs in assorted colours. Do it man, DO IT. Vans make some really nice slip ons. I have an old, black pair of New Eras that still fit me, usually worn to cut grass.

As a RN, who is also married to one, I concur.  Given the type of work I think they should be illegal in an infectious environment. Plus, the risk for brown spots on your socks is high, if you know what I mean. (Hint: Its poo!)


I wear these for work.





And these at home.
