I'm looking for something isn't too dressy and isn't too casual (i.e gym shoes).

Basically if I go out in a v-neck sweater and jeans, I don't want to wear a pair of shoes that go with dress pants. What are some suggestions?

There are several very large and very long threads dedicated to such questions already. Look in the first few pages....

Honestly I don't even have a preference.

What's your opinion on Clark's Desert Shoes?

There's also the Alden Ultimate Indy Boot... The first leather shoe that kinda appealed to me.

I have a black pair and a dark brown pair of boots that I use for daily use on top of sneakers or whatever. My brown are desert boots actually.....and I am thinking about picking up either a pair of redwings / jcrew or maybe some timbs

That's what I meant...I was asking what color desert boots go with everything. Now when you say brown what type of brown? There's also suede and leather obviously.
