I need some new shoes for every day work and walking. I basically only have one pair of casual shoes, one pair of running and gym shoes, and one pair of dress shoes right now, and the first one is falling apart.

I spend most of the day in slacks and collared shirts sitting at a computer, but my work site also involves multiple buildings about 10-15 minutes walk from each other, so that surprisingly the walking and standing can add up throughout the day. Plus, like I said, only got one pair of shoes right now, so I literally wear them all the time for almost everything.

So it would be nice if I could just wear them in normal life, too, so they look good hanging out with friends, going to an amusement park, or going on a stroll. Or maybe I just need to get another pair of shoes, so I can have some that are comfortable and some that look good when I go out to a nice bar or whatever lol.

What do you guys suggest? What shoes do you guys wear for the office or normal every day use? Just white sneakers or something else? What brands or styles?

EDIT: Loving all the recommendations so far! Keep 'em coming!

Clark chukkas are one of my go to nice, and casual shoes (boots). The Clark's are great value for the money too. I like their Wallabees too, but those tend to be pricier and are a less universal style.

A clean pair of Adidas Stan Smiths can look good too. Really any of the simple sneakers will look good with most outfits, like these, the Nike Cortez, or whatever. I don't like sneakers that look too technical or chunky, but that's just me.

Johnston and Murphy has a mixed reputation and are expensive, but I've liked the two pairs I've had from them. They've been worth their price too, the last pair I had from them lasted about 8 years.

Clark's used to be good but got taken over by a Chinese conglomerate. They're utter crap now
