Navy Puma la liga of retro. Found these on clearance at Nordstrom rack.

The past year I have been wearing a pair of these Pumas, a pair of Adidas Superstar OGs, a pair of Adidas Munchens, and some velvet Vans.

I definitely wouldn't classify them as sneakers but if you are just looking to wear something comfortable and a pickup basketball game isn't about to break out....

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn and I wear a lot of shoes.

The upper is made of wool? Aren't there odor problems with shoes made of wool? Wet wool is not a great smell.

Yeah I mean throw them in the washer. I've splashed in a puddle or two by accident and it wasn't too bad.

As long as they're clean, you're good. Shoes are so subjective, and hardly universal. You have to take into account your height, shoe size, what you're wearing them with, and if the shoe fits true to size. But the main thing is that they're clean. Just know that if you're wearing some old, nasty, dusty pieces of crap that it gets noticed. If you wanna come across as an independent man with his life together, spend some time thinking about this. Because if you are an old man with dirty, tired shoes I'm going to assume either your mom or your wife dresses you, and she gave up a long time ago. Keep your shoes fresh bro. That's all that matters.

My guess is that they're pretty new and people are complimenting the cleanliness rather than the actual shoe itself. Congrats on that.

My post with the link to the NBs was a joke.  Living in FL, I see those NB's on many dudes over 60.  I'm not knocking them but they aren't exactly stylish.

I agree that cleaniness makes a hugh difference.

In Wisconsin dudes in their mid 40's and older rock those.  Typically with faded jeans.

i have had ankle/achilles issues from being flat footed. went with my wife to buy her new brooks running shoes and they had a pair of saucony iso rides on sale.  i went for the wide and they are supportive and cushioned, while the tongue is stitched in and doesn’t float.  highly recommend.

Always liked the way those gripped during wet weather.

Comfort and cost are what I tend to look at most. My local store always has Filas on clearance, sometimes as high as 75% off list.

Same.  I've gone with Saucony the past couple times.  Big 5 always has them for cheap and they're always pretty comfy.  I don't run  but I do walk a bit so I want something that's going to be ultra-comfy.
