I'm having a bit of trouble looking for shoes. Maybe the SF community can help. I have completely worn out my pair of Timberland Lake Toya Plain Toe Oxfords that I used to wear everywhere and they no longer make this model. I've decided to start wearing Sperry's A/O as my main casual shoes for now, but I still desperately want something that does the things my Timberlands did well. In other words, I'm looking for shoes that: - I can wear with khakis or out to bars, clubs and parties (indoor and outdoor) - I can walk through puddles in without worry and that look okay with a little dirt on them My first couple attempts at finding a replacement led me only to a bunch of ugly, clunky-looking shoes or things that I can't imagine wearing somewhere they might get spilled or stepped on. I'm on a college budget, so please try to keep suggestions to about $100 or less. Thanks
