Work Sneaker Recommendations?

[jubei]

I'm looking for a sneaker that looks a little dressier for my office (so I can get away with wearing it during the week)

What I am NOT looking for:

Anything remotely resembling diesel sneakers (but expert SuFu'ers know that)

What I AM looking for:

Something sleek, logoless.

Probably not too chunky, but preferably with a decent midsole (i.e. not vulcanized... I'm a commuter so I'd like to be able to walk from home to train to work very comfortably)

Netural colors (black, white, grey)

i hope you are kidding

[Ryan]

sorry just had to bandwagon for a tad

[triniboy27]

Sorry dude - man it up and wear some comfortable dress shoes. Sneakers aren't for the office.

Kidding! If you're looking for something that's a bit more casual, I always like a good pair of Clarks. Or Bostonian. Those look dressier but they're very well made and comfortable.

or be that dude who wears sneakers TO work and then changes into his dressy stuff at work :confused: :eek:

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

.

these are acceptable if you work at a daycare.

[triniboy27]

Btw, Lacoste makes a sneaker that looks like a wingtip brogue - if you're deadset on wearing a sneaker, you might want to look into that one.

haha im wearing trashed gap slipons right now and aint naan nigga can say nuffin! business casual rules. in fact, i wore a nice shirt/tie/cardigan combo the other day and people were like "So...you got an interview somewhere else?"

[n0torious]

StuckOnStupid, you are obviously an Achewood fan, which makes you good peeps in my book.

I completely agree. A black pair would definatly fit the bill.

Throw on a Bape hoody and you'll look like a clown who was caught in a serious explosion in the Toys 'R Us kiddy isle.

Yah that's me at the moment Band Aids or PF Flyers on the way to work, then thrift Hanover Calfskin Dress Shoes

I was thinking of using these more for Casual Friday (or for "accidentally" forgetting to swtich into my work shoes)

Those Kim Jones for Umbro wovens look nice, but I hate the idea of paying more than $40 for anything with a Vulcanized Sole. Sorry, but if I'm shelling out that much money for a sneaker, I want some modern technology to go into my investment.

[mr fluffernutter]

I'd suggest something like Swear, HARE, Dior, Vans, or Common Projects... They're the dressiest looking sneakers I've seen.

[Guest jmatsu]

givenchy sneakers. lanvin sneakers.

someone else mentioned umbro by kim jones. i think that it would have to be a solid color to work (body and sole that is).

[Pogi]

I have an Umbro pair in white that are canvas but have similar straps (3) to the Vans prison issues, looks great with suits.

Double identities? Those chris is selling

[M4TM]

pradas.

or gucci (wearing a pair at work now...)

[mickawes]

Id say Comon projects or some simple lacoste. As long as theres minimal logos, and its in a conservative colorway, it should be ok. When I worked at my summer internships in the Bay Area, everyone just wore Asics and NB with their Dockers and shortsleeve button ups. If youre in East Coast id say just find some comfortable dress shoes, like hushpuppies or so.

[daska]

some of the voilet blanches are acceptable (those without ugly prints!)

I think this is even the only one without print!

[sexasomniac]

cole haan air granada, very comfortable... about a billion different color combinations.

[fg0d]

I recently found a job that has a no jeans or sneaker policy. What to do? I need cheap dress shoes, like the convereses of dress shoes. Suggestions?

Those things are fucking awful.

Great if you're a geriatric though.

[thelion1856]

I agreelanvin is a good choice

[London]

Cp's are what I wear to work

[alterion]

the navy lanvin lowtops would be a good choice, or something by paul smith or swear also
