These look amazing. Looks like they're only available in US and NZ though, or do they ship worldwide?
I bought some Adidas Tubular Invader strap shoes for everyday use and they're amazing. I got a second pair that I'll keep in tip-top condition.

Bought my first pair of Free RN Flyknits recently and I completely agree. Feels like butter. Don't love the colorway I chose but it's a whole new level of comfort for me coming from Converses and casual/skate sneakers.

I've got a pair of Cole Haan that have been doing alright for two years now. Might get another.

Actually almost bought a pair of these today in triple black. So you're saying that I should follow through. 🤔

vans and that one pair of supras. Best shoes I ever wore.
Asics Gel-Kayano 22. They're a good running shoe that comes in a color that doesn't look like something a candy raver would wear.
I'm a huge fan of Rockport's Driving Moccasins for day to day semi-formal wear.
I don't have to wear dress shoes any more, so the ones from my last job will last me nearly forever at this rate.

New Balance and Saucony. Ecco. Also like the Adidas "cloud" sole running shoes.
I used to be a big Rockport and Nike guy. Rockport's have slid down in quality I think...while competition is stronger...leather interiors are hard to find (or actually I am not sure they even make any. Nike is awesome, but the low and midrange is crappy, and you have to usually really spend (like 2X, 3X+) to be better than NB and Saucony IMO.

The ones I got actually have a vitage white / gum sole : http://www.adidas.ie/tubular-invader-strap-shoes/BB5037.html
But yea, I would definitely consider it if you're a fan of the design 😉 the suede is top notch too.

At less than $200, Jack Erwins are great bang-for-the buck high quality men's shoe.
Look into goodyear welted boots if you want a pair that will last a long time with decent care (5 years at the very least).
1000 mile boots by wolverine, Redwing boots (iron rangers, etc.) are pretty good entry level with solid materials.
I found a black pair of 1000 mi at a discount shoe store recently for $70 recently. Have to force myself not to wear them everyday.
For sneakers i wear a few pairs of vans.

These are my current boots, Corcoran jump boots. Best boots I've owned in a long ass time and they look beautiful when they are broken in and polished.
Aside from that my go to shoes are low top air force 1's, chucks and non slip on vans. Also if you're wanting a pair of Dr. Martens spend the extra cash and buy from the "vintage" collection those are still made in the UK. These Chinese made Dr. Martens are shit mine fell apart after five years of regular use not worth the price tag.

Must be nice to have feet size 13 and under.
Once you get to 14-15s nothing looks "cute".

The extra support makes a huge difference for dealing daily with plantar fasciitis

Allen Edmonds. Beautiful pieces of work. But I like them so much I wear them very rarely, because I'm afraid to scuff them up. But I get envious comments everytime I've been out with them.
Dr. Martens. I have a pair of simple black docs. People say the quality isn't what it used to be, but these bad boys have been saying regular use for 4 years now, including in snow-and-salt city winter conditions and still look and feel amazing.

For casual wear I noticed buying etnies brand dumb skater shoes have been really great for me. I found buying them at fucking discount shoe stores in combination with them having double stitched soles, they haven't even seen an inch of breaking down and I actually think I've had them for almost 10 years now.
I think running shoes are way more based on foot shape and terrain preferences but you probably can't go wrong with ASICS or Brooks or the like.

Agreed.
If you've never worn a shoe with a Primeknit upper, you're missing out.

I have not and am not even sure what that means, but I'm buying the shoes I linked. So I will lol

The Primeknit material is stretchy and soft and just feels really great on the foot. It's very comfortable.
Their NMD line (among other lines) have Primeknit variants as well.

I've bought and enjoyed Iron Fist. I'd buy them again.
I want to buy Demonia, though. Their shoes are so cool ;;

Camper all the time. The styles don't always work for me but the comfort and durability is great.
Cole Haan for dress shoes. Also super comfortable.
My Red Wings are durable and they'll probably last me a decade, but I don't know if they're comfortable enough for me to buy another pair.

Doc marten pier boot. Fits and wears really well, though I've read they have QC problems that I haven't run into

I firmly believe Blundstones are some of the best shoes/boots on the market. I love them.
They're pretty industrial looking depending on the style you get but the sole and the top of the shoe is all one piece, so you'll never have that problem with the sole peeling away. There are no laces, just two pull tabs that you can yank as hard as you want and they never break. They're also just the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.
They remind me of a less streamline chelsea boot.
