Dennis Busenitz has an $80 skate shoe with Adidas with a good silhouette in a bunch of colorways. I like the mac n cheese for winter, Mark prefers gray and yellow. You can't go wrong either way.
Dressy leather sneakers are popular these days. Cole Haan, Johnson & Murphy, Allen Edmonds all make pretty much the same thing for $100 or more. K-Swiss makes a nearly identical shoe for $31.50.
One of my all-time favorite oddball Asics is the Gel-Lite III. The tongue is split down the middle. I don't think anyone else did that. They come in a ton of different colorways but Asics oddly doesn't put them all on one page. Here's a green and yellow version for you Tribe Pride guys, and an ivory and black version for the pianists out there, both for $110. You can sear your retinas with this lime green version for $100. I'm all in on the $80 gray and pink joints.
If you want retro runners with a smorgasbord of color options and you don't want to break the bank, Diadora has a wide range of Camaros and Camaro Iconas (another Tribe Pride version!) starting at $40. There's no wrong way to go with all these colors but my $40 is on these tan and orange beauties.
Too far out there for you? Fine. Put up $55 for these Jog Light Cs and thank me next time you see me.
Hopefully this helps you get straightened out, at least from the ankles down.

Cool, but I just bought a new pair of bike shoes and hiking shoes last week, and have very limited style.
Vans/Airwalks seem to be the sneakers seem to be the dad shoe of choice in my new neighborhood. I can get used to that.
Question for Rootsy - as a naive wilderness guy who wants to start hiking, what would you recommend for a reasonably price walking shoe for beginner/intermediate hikes? I think they have REIs every 100 yards out this way.
I like to hike in the lightest shoes possible. The notion that a heavy pair of boots is going to protect your ankle is absurd. A lightweight shoe saves you energy on every step. I just bought a pair of super light, zero drop Altras because my Hokas were a little tight in the toe box, especially when descending. I've had decent luck with Brooks in the past too. The zero drop does feel a little odd at first, but I'm getting used to it.
My recommendation is to go to a place where they will scan your foot, analyze your gait, and fit you with options that work for your anatomy. I don't look at prices anymore. I choose the shoe that feels best and buy it. That 30 bucks you save isn't enough to justify choosing the wrong pair of shoes.
i like to hike in heavy boots to really crush my quads and calves. i also carry a moose.
i like those green asics! but they don't have them in my size . . .
i'm all about new kicks. got my eye on a pair of nike daan van der linden sb collabs. i can't get down with the silhouette of the asics and diadoras. just not my bag, baby.
