New Balance runners and Timberland boots. I like my Chuck Taylors too, but they aren't as supportive as my NB's.

I have worn these every day for 8 months now (roughly 8-12k steps/day) and they're still in perfect shape. When they eventually bite the dust (hopefully 2+ years from now), I'll totally buy them again. They're comfy, supportive, and go with just about everything.

I got the same ones and love them.
I've been exclusively getting New Balance for years, but I'm going to shop around for my next pair. They no longer make the style I buy in the US, and the shoes do not feel as supportive as they used to. All for the same price or more expensive. Then there was the whole Trump thing. Fuck em.

Yeah they're pretty dope, but get dirty fairly easily..
I'm wearing Red Wing Heritage Weekender Oxfords (they're actually derbies, but whatever) right now, and I like them a lot. They seem pretty bulletproof. I'd definitely buy other Red Wing Heritage shoes/boots at this point.
Also, though I'm not that big on wearing athletic shoes all the time, I have some Nike Free 4.0 Flyknits that are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They almost feel wrong, like I'm wearing slippers out in public.

NB definitely does not "support" Trump. They were against TPP and were in favor of Hillary's and Trump's position on it. The single out-of-context quote people freaked out about was specifically about Obama's support for and Trump's opposition to TPP.

Even if the company "supports" Trump, who cares? Companies don't get to vote, and unless you're concerned about how the BIG SHOE lobby is really making life tough for the middle class, that should not have a huge impact on a person if they find the shoes comfortable. For all you know, 99% of their employees vote Dem, and the one dude at the top vote GOP...would you really want to put all those people you agree with out of work to get back at the one guy you disagree with?
Sorry...dumb rant...some other thread has me a little too riled up today.

It's perfectly fine to not want to buy from companies who publicly support causes or people you don't agree with. It's also perfectly fine to disagree with that support and buy from them anyway.

Red Wings look boss. I've been eyeing this pair for a long time:
The only thing keeping me from a purchase is the price

For work shoes, I am a big fan of Rockports, they're just so comfy and durable if you care for them. Like today, I wore something similar to-
For tennis shoes or whatever, I don't really care anymore as long as they look ok (no wild colors, gaudy stuff etc) I usually go to the discount chains and get whatever. Mostly Adidas and Nike.

Never heard about this. How durable are them? And I suppose you can't wear them in the rain?

I only wear Converse and Onitsuka Tiger as well.
Frye boots - Hell yes I would buy more but the quality is up there and my pair will last for years and years to come.
Clark boots - Maybe. I took a pair on a camping trip and the quality didn't really hold up. They are a nice inexpensive pair of nice boots for the workplace though.
Converse - These are my around the town fast on and off shoes. They are fine, last only a bit but get the job done.
Nike - My running shoes, fantastic but that is all they are used for.

I practically only buy Sketchers these days. They fit well, are priced well (perpetual Buy 1, Get 1 50% off sales at their outlet stores), and I like 'em.
I've bought the Arcade line back-to-back when I wear through a pair.

Whatever brand has size 17s in not disgusting designs. Such a hassle to have big feet.
That first post. I have been wearing these for about five years and I love them. They're comfortable and well-made, so I don't mind the price.

With the exception of these Onitsuka Tigers I bought for work, I only buy Adidas. As for the style, it varies on how I feel.

I like New Balance minimalist running shoes. Not expensive either. Too bad they are a pissbaby supporter.
For hiking shoes, I wear La Sportiva.

Clarks: Finding brands that make an EU42 for womens that actually fits me properly is nearly impossible. I trust so much in them that literally all of my nice footwear comes from this brand. When this size is never available in physical stores, I can't take a lot of chances with internet.
Converse: I guess I like them. They look nice, are comfortable and I usually get a new pair every year. I literally destroy them.

I have a beautiful pair of Frye sneakers but they didn't last well and the prices skyrocketed so I said nah to that brand

The boots are really well made and I have had no issues with mine in the four plus years I have owned them.

Nike Airmax are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Definitely grabbing another pair whenever I need to reup on shoes. Knee pain went down a considerable amount since I got em.
