Replacement for Stan Smiths
After 7 years of faithful service, the sole of my trusty Stan Smiths has finally cracked.
While I could get them resoled, it would cost more than the shoe is worth.
I figure I should take this opportunities to branch out. I’m looking for recommendations for a slightly chunkier white sneaker. Want something that
-is under 100 (new or used)
-smooth leather upper (minimal suede detailing ok)
-minimal or no other colors

if you wait for a sale, the Beckett Simonons drop down to around $90-100
Ahh I should have mentioned. I am in Alaska, so only companies that ship outside the contiguous US. That sadly disqualifies Beckett Simonen
Maybe Air Force 1s if you want a slightly chunkier all white sneaker
New Balance 550
Could also go for some Bundeswehr GATs
BW GATs (at least the surplus ones) are pretty slim, for something chunkier I’d consider Superstars maybe? Otherwise another rec for NB 550s
oh, missed the chunkier ask, mb
All good, dude! They are definitely a good looking shoe
I second new balance 550. Wait for sale. Its comfy and can be wear to almost any style. Or 530
