I don't believe I've ever seen this topic come up before, but it's worth looking at for me because like many places of work in Asia, mine requires that I have some sort of shoes that I only wear indoor. Disregarding mocs and sneaks, what kind of rubber or soft leather-soled shoes have you all come across? People here commonly wear slips, sneakers and crocs, but I could never put myself through any of that when wearing a suit. Standard dress shoes are not ideal because it's really just embarrassing to be clunking about while everyone else's footsteps are barely audible. As the only white boy there, I already have enough watchful eyes on my every move. In a few minutes of browsing, I found two different pairs from Lad Musician (19,000 JPY for the canvas, 26,000 JPY for leather) that both looked appealing to me. But before I bite the bullet on the leathers pictured below, I'd like to get some input from others as to what kind of comfortable shoes you've handled or owned that would are low-profile, but still classy enough as to not look so out of the ordinary with a suit. Feel free to post up mocs or loafers, but for me specifically I want to avoid both as I've never seen a pair that looked good on me. [IMG]
