Shoes for wearing with shorts

[Mbuck]

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

I don't like either of them

chucks, pf flyers, jack purcells, sambas, stan smiths, supergas, keds

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?

haha yeah i remember volleys. (i'm from US but i spent 6 weeks in australia a few years ago....time in melbourne, sydney, and tasmania). i remember seeing volleys in some of the stores in melbourne. i considered buying a pair...almost wish i did now.

i like the white and grey lacostes from your first post best.

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..

why not just get a pair of GATs and have a similiar shoe minus the lacoste branding
