going back to the steve maddens, it might actually be a good deal to get some cheap dress shoes if youre going to wear them with everyday jeans, especially in college. youre going to look different with dress shoes on, they have some decent styles (that are not square-toe), they are cheap, and after you wear them for a while they are going to break down and look more worn in. so if you want an everyday shoe that you wont feel bad about destroying the maddens seem like a good option

LOL

At least sand is not as bad as hot asphalt.

I didn't even read the rest of the posts; b/c this is the best advice-especially if you are stepping up from chucks.

I have looked at DSW but I havent found anything there that I like.

I dont mind the desert boot but light suede is so hard to keep clean
