A clean everyday sneaker that works with almost anything.                          This classic low-profile sneaker is lightweight, versatile, and easy to wear with jeans or casual clothes. I have them in green; I've gotten several compliments on them.

These shoes are super comfortable. They have a business look but a sneaker vibe. I know a bit about ECCO. They're one of the top names in comfortable, well-made shoes. Highly recommend them.

A waterproof cap-toe with a clean dress look. This one's comfortable and practical as well. Rockport really pioneered the men's comfort shoes genre.

This is a shoe that grabs my interest . The reason, besides the fact that they're beautiful and known for being extremely well-made, is that some of their models have a little Zing, More, in my opinion, than a classic stiff Oxford. Note the soles.

I can't believe how many comfort features this shoe has. Soft, full grain leather uppers, a removable leather covered insole for cushioning, an ultralight midsole to absorb shock. Also very cool looking. That's my take.
