Hey!
If I was married and given up on life, I can understand your point though![]()
I’m a fan of these but not everyone is.Bump to poll the fellas here if there's a suggestion for a brand I should be looking at for a casual, lace-up sneaker that I can wear with jeans/polo in a casual work environment.
I had a pair of gray sneakers that are looking dingy and the soles are wearing out, so it's time to replace 'em.
Not looking to break the bank (I'm cheap), so say in the $100-and-under range, and preferably online with ability to pay via PayPal (gotta spend all my fantasy football winnings somehow).
TIA
Mmm yeah those are too "athletic" looking. I guess the kind I'm looking for would be a "dress sneaker"?I’m a fan of these but not everyone is.Bump to poll the fellas here if there's a suggestion for a brand I should be looking at for a casual, lace-up sneaker that I can wear with jeans/polo in a casual work environment.

I think the ones I had that are no longer wearable are Cole Haan, but I looked at their website and they're too pricey. I probably got mine off Amazon or something.

Depends on your style but for something simple and classic, hard to go wrong with a basic Stan Smith. https://www.adidas.com/us/stan-smith-shoes/M20325.html

I have a pair of all-white Stan Smiths. I almost never wear them because they're just a shade too preppy and they're not very comfortable. I haven't broken them in, so that might be a stupid lament. The other thing is they get dirty so fast out here in the Dust Bowl where I live (Inland Empire, California) and it's tough to pull off a preppy look with dirty sneakers. Did I mention that one day around here I wore a pair of light blue linen shorts with a pink shirt and began to think (judging by the people and how they were dressed around me) that I was inviting trouble by being a shade too precious?
That's also a consideration for somebody like me who always thinks preppy clothes are nice clothes and the way to go. Can't get the New England out of me.

Those are basic canvas sneakers. Happen to be sperry but could be Vans as easily. Sure Sperry is older preppier but look is pretty age agnostic. Is that what you meant @Eephus ?
Or what would you suggest for a more reasonable choice?
these or Rod Laver's were going to be my suggestion for low profile, casual.Bump to poll the fellas here if there's a suggestion for a brand I should be looking at for a casual, lace-up sneaker that I can wear with jeans/polo in a casual work environment.

Thanks GB. What's your sneaker of choice there?

I was just kidding.
They're a shoe that has remained unchanged for decades and will probably still be worn for ages to come. Retro shoe styles have become fashionable recently. I see well fitted out young people in SF wearing old school leather New Balances. There was even a NY Times article a few months about how Mephistos are now hip.
