what shoes would you recommend for me?
I only own one pair of shoes I’ve had for 2/3 years (Hoka Arahi 6) and I just wear it with everything.
However, recently got into running & have been told to make them exclusively my running shoes and buy a couple more shoes for everyday wear.
I’ve attached some photos of my style vibes, you can see that the Hokas have always been a bit of an eyesore so now I’ve decided to do something about that.

I'm not really styling when it comes to footwear and am interested in what others say. I was thinking get a fresh pair for running and keep those for your casual wear.
your style is pretty simple (not a criticism), so you could really wear any shoe and it would work
like it's hard to clash with these fits
a budget would be good here
At the very least, do you want leather shoes, sneakers, or something else?
I was thinking a sneaker and something leather so I can change the vibe of the outfit depending on the occasion(?)
i agree, i love keeping things simple because i am always late to things so it makes dressing myself less stressful (even though i love looking at everyone’s fits in waywt lol)
for sneakers, are you more into a speedy silhouette like the hokas or something more tame like Chuck Taylors (and lots of options in between)
adidas sambas are a classic sneaker in this vibe imo
or if u got cash like that MM gats
unsure on this, i’m happy to save for them but wouldn’t wanna go over £300 as i would start to stress about damage probably
was looking at these as an option but never actually heard of this brand

The Mercer Brand
The Re-Run Vintage Suede
It's called vintage for a reason; the yellowed outsole creates a look & feel that perfectly fits our brand. It looks like you found them in your fathers closet years later. • Outsole: EVA + Recycled Rubber • Upper: GRS recycled leather and GRS Recycled Mesh • Recycled in-sole and recycled lasting in-sole • Recycled
id look into sambas/stand smiths for the minimal sneaker vibe, could go xt-6 for a slightly more gorpy vibe
or tbh NB for something like what you posted
Yeah I'd go with NB for that style
NB is new balance right?
yeah
something liek this
maybe not this colorway
but think the shape is there
The Mercer is like a straight ripoff a NB model, can't remember which
what would y’all recommend for the leather shoe? just a classic loafer?
also happy to throw in a third shoe just to have some variety for fun if y’all have suggestions too!
loafers cant go wrong
yeah i only found the mercer brand by searching sustainable sneaker brands but am yet to do research into if they pass the legit check
i would say if your looking for something after that, there's room for something a bit more fun/specialized so its gonna be pretty up to what you find appealing
1906D fits the vibe of these closeset imo, also its a little different from the full classic NB look
Also any of the 990 series are pretty close
👆
I like blackstock and weber
or a Chambord
paraboots are also a very solid option for this style
also
If paraboots are breaking the bank you could have a look at Kleman as well
figured out what these remind me of, it's not NB but the asics gel lyte 3
