Athletic sneakers for short sleeve button downs
I really like wearing sneakers that have a comfortable upper and a sole that can be comfortable over multiple hours of walking. I usually don't find canvas or leather uppers comfortable and have gotten a good number of blisters from them, so I'm probably restricted to an athletic shoe like ultraboost although I'm willing to try canvas or leather shoes if people find the upper to be really comfortable.
The shoe will be worn with almost all summer and spring outfits if possible, which for me is a lot of short sleeve button downs (a variety, some standard fit casual, some slim fit preppy) with standard or slim fit 8 inch shorts or chinos.
I know that athletic sneakers don't fit that well but I value comfort over looks. What's the best versatile sneaker that would look the least "off" with short sleeve button downs?
Right now I think the best candidate is one of the ultraboost 1-4 in white or grey but I would love suggestions from people.

Look into "runners," which are meant to carry the aesthetic of athletic shoes but aren't actually for running. They tend to have some of the comfort features
