Smart Casual Shoe Options

Hello, I am reaching out for ideas for shoes or boots that could work for a smart casual style. My style leans Ivy but I try to incorporate European and Japanese city boy elements as well. I’m just getting out of university so I’m still expanding and learning.

My issue is that my feet are abnormally shaped with narrow heels, low insteps, and thin ankles: Combined that all means that my feet will not work in nearly every loafer I’ve tried. I think I just need to be in something that can be tightened be it a shoe or a boot.

I currently have a pair of chunky lug soles derbies and a pair of stitch down Viberg style work boots. I’m considering lug soled boat shoes and maybe also chukka boots

Are there any other options I should consider? Other advice would be highly appreciated too.

Thanks!
