Maybe I asked this before. I'm getting old.
I need to get a good pair of walking shoes, but I don't want something that looks like an athletic shoe or an earth shoe (look it up).
Any recommendations? I've looked at some of the Clark shoes, but they look weird.

Rockport makes some comfy dressy shoes. It's probably been 15 years since I switched to work boots but I used to wear them pretty regular.

Look for postal worker shoes. Here's one of the first links that I found http://www.postaluniformdiscounters.com/postal-uniforms-footwear-new-balance_m-mnb.html

That's a good idea. I'd go to a store that carries uniform type work shoes (around here, it would be SuperShoes) though, and try an assortment on.
It's one thing to wing it on shoes that you don't expect to wear much or be on your feet a lot, but shoes that you are planning on really walking about in, you should defiantly test before buying. There are certain things that are not convenient to buy online and shoes fall in that category.

Here you go, old timer. ;)

Yep. I knew I was having a senior moment. I searched for the thread, couldn't find it, and thought I'd start it again. :facepalm:

for our trip to Japan and Europe in 2009, I bought a pair of Timberland leather shoes. They were soled like a sneaker, but with leather uppers. Turned out to be the most comfortable shoes I owned. Still wearing them when I want comfort and decent looks.

Must have been old stock they blew the dust off of, because Timberland quality went down the toilet before that.

First Rockport, and now Timberland . . . or maybe vice versa.
Sad how so many old standards are going down the tubes. =(

Red Wing has warehouse shoes that run the gamut from utilitarian to wingtip. (Yes, I said wingtip. I have a pair decorating my hooves as I type this). Thick soled and made for heavy use.
Also, try Drew
shoes (drewshoe.com). They're normally seen in the orthopedist section but they make some darned nice shoes that wear well and won't break the bank.
