What type of footwear for a date?
Background: late 30s male living in Canada. Budget: $300-400 CAD (max).
I'm looking for some footwear that I could wear on a date to a restaurant, or an art gallery or museum, or something that is a little bit more formal than just a walk in the park. Something that could be paired with chinos and a tucked in shirt, with MAYBE a blazer on top of it (but probably not). I'm not talking about dress shoes that would go with a tie as I'm not aiming for that level of formality - I just want "the next step up" from sneakers so I don't look too casual. Would also like to be able to wear this footwear when out and about and trying to be a bit more classy than sneakers too.
I'd REALLY like to be able to "try before I buy" or at least have free (or very affordable return) returns: I prioritize comfort in whatever I wear as I know if it feels uncomfortable I'll be looking for reasons to avoid it.
I looked at the guides for footwear but was overwhelmed with the options.
