npgraphicdesign 2 #1 August 25, 2011 Sorry, I know that's a cheap trick to get skydivers to pay attention. Hey it worked for me...I'm paying attention! But now that you're here, I need a recommendation for a pair of shoes. Something that's lightweight, suitable for city walking, will pass off as a decent pair of shoes if I am at work, and comfortable. And preferably won't make my feet smell like a cow pasture on a hot summer day. Any suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missbrz 0 #6 August 25, 2011 What kind of work attire do you wear? Business casual? can you wear jeans? Are you wearing suits? Khakis? If its nicer casual wear, I love pumas & they look great on guys. but pumas don't go with suits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel dirty in a not good way when I think one of the new pairs of crocs is cute but some of them actually are kinda cute. & they're still just as comfortable as the old uggo ones.

If he's looking for a semi-professional shoe that are multifunctional, then most likely wearing a pair of Crocs like this is fine. Other options: http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/7074M/0/Mens/Jungle-Moc?dimensions=0 Great shoes, not a good summer shoe though. Will survive the Korean monsoon season looking great, however. http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/22889M/0/Mens/Pathway-Moc-Canvas?dimensions=0 Lighter version. If tennis shoes type shoes are A-okay, merrell has a great line of "barefoot" shoes. I have a couple pairs in different styles, and I'm pretty happy with them. They've taken me all over Korea. http://www.merrell.com/US/en/Men-Footwear-Shoes-Barefoot Just checked out the Keen website, and I withdraw that suggestion. They have good lightweight closed shoe solutions for women, but not so much for men. edit: forgot the clickies Also, wasn't trying to sound snarky by any means, Meso. Realized it could come across that way when I reread what I wrote. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meso 38 #14 August 25, 2011 Damn right, you better apologize. I have half the mind to ban you simply for linking to a crocs site from this forum :p Death to crocs (of shit) And yeah, I do think NB are better - crocs in general are worn by complete douchebags, while NB are just good athletic shoes. So far I've found mine better than the Nikes I have, at half the price. Also I wasn't talking about the running NB, more about the casual ones. Semi-Professional... I thought that meant just wearing shoes in the first place. I don't know that whole 'professional' world ;p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amstalder 0 #16 August 25, 2011 Just for that, I almost want to go buy a stupid pair of crocs (although, the ones that look like buckets are icky icky icky. And the word crocs freaks me out. But if I pretend it's not written on the side, the pair my husband owns is pretty cute) Nikes are no good, IMO. NB are definitely better. They don't work well for my feet, but I do like them. I had like 800 pairs of those silly pink NB (they came in a bunch of other colors too) in high school. Everything had to be pink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
