Guys I need help..

Need some new shoes to wear in summer with shorts and a polo probably...

Sydney gets hot in summer and jeans become impractical when its 35 degrees celsius, I need shoes for when flip flops are too casual... Thus..

I am in university (college)

 

Which shoes should I buy I was thinking these looked pretty simple casual

Which one would you choose????  Any other recomendations? I want to wear something a little 'higher up' then vans, but i won't be wearing boat shoes around lol..

Thanks

second shoe is definitely better. i'd still go with a simple pair of chucks tho.

 

or boat shoes in the summer...dunno why you are against them.

They remind me too much of dunlop volleys like i'd wear on a tennis court

 

What about these?

Yeah I used to wear the dunlop volleys playing tennis when I was young so whenever I see people wearing their fashionably branded counterparts I can't get it out of my head thinking they're tennis shoes lol..
