Hello, /fa/.
I have never posted on this board before and know nothing about recommended styles, so plz no mean.
I'm a teacher and have to be on my feet all day. I am allowed to dress "casual" but usually dress up SLIGHTLY to differentiate from the students (dress shirt with nice jeans or khakis rather than sweatpants and graphic t-shirts).
I wear running shoes because they are literally the only comfortable shoe that I've been able to wear, but they do not look good with some of the things I wear. I've always worn Nike, so someone recommended pic related.
I don't know if these are comfortable or anything, but they definitely look more stylish than running shoes.
The problem is that I'm not a skater and these are skating shoes.
Any advice for a teacher? Can you confirm that this looks good with a slightly-higher-than-casual look? Or maybe you have a different recommendation.
TL;DR: Teacher is considering buying these, good idea or no? Any other recommendations?
just get clarks desert boots and wear them with chinos and an oxford shirt
generic teacher uniform

janoskis are probably more comfortable and versatile OP. If you're looking for most comfy skate shoes though it's gotta be the adidas nestor judkins seeley ADV (although you normally go for Nike).

I would recommend checking ebay for a pair of gravis shoes. They are a little bit hard to find nowadays as they closed down their NA/EU branch a couple of years ago (but it's still alive in asia) Most of their models are work-friendly so you got a pretty decent array of shoes to pick from.
Another thing that you would benefit from is the "Cloud9" insole they used, it's arguably one of the best soles you can find in the market. Comfortable as hell and great impact absorption (if you ever find yourself jumping stairs or whatever, these bad boys got you covered.)
Being that said, you could also look at the Bruin hyperfeel or The judkins Seeley ADV like the other anon said.

Clarks makes some cheaper and dressier shoes with great cushioning, as does Cole Haan. Pretty much every major player in the sneaker market has their own flavor of cushioning tech (Vans Ultracush, Nike Lunarlon, Adidas Boost, etc.) so choose something you like.
