Footwear recommendations
College student looking for a new pair of shoes with the following properties, any help would be greatly appreciated.
- walkable: my walk to campus is about a mile, and typically walk 3 miles on school days.
- wearable daily: currently don't have any good shoes so I want a pair I can wear most days. This is from weather-resistance, durability, and dress-level perspectives. There's no snow where I live so no worries there. For formal-ness, looking for something I can wear to class but also business casual (if that exists).
- not too casual: I'm going to Paris after Christmas and don't want to look like a slobbish American (this also plays into the walkability part)
- budget: honestly don't know how much decent shoes cost; I've always tried to buy them as cheap as possible. I think I'm willing to spend up to $150 if they're going to last a long time (no idea if I am over/underestimating the cost of shoes).
- Other things in the post guide: Size 9.5, live in continental US, timeframe is within a month
