When I buy shoes there are two things I look for.
First - I hate leather soles. I avoid them. Rubber soles are much better. They don't slip, don't 'click' when I walk and are more gentle on the feet.

Second: I look for soles which are stitched on, not glued. This will usually take you to the next price level but is well worth it. The glue is most often where a shoe fails, so stitching is superior - plus with stitching the sole is easier to replace.
Beyond that I really don't care much. I do prefer shoes which are laces vs slip on. That is about it. I usually spend $100-$200 for my shoes.

Funny how we all develop our own likes/dislikes.


Eric_L and I match one out of three. Stitching I agree with, no glue.


But I also love leather everything and slip ons, hate lace up shoes. Clicking is more from the heel.


Main thing is look for quality and a good fit. Nothing squeaky, they can be a little snug since leather stretches a bit and no wingtips unless you're 55 or older, terribly aging shoes.

I really like my Cole Haan shoes. They have Nike Air soles and very confortable.
