looking for casual shoe that also looks good beat to shit

Hi I am looking for a casual shoe that's kinda waxy or at least will look good with the shit kicked out of it. I guess something with some texture, or a general lack of uniformity.

I don't want no cap toe or dress-y vibes. Basically I hate everything about the last picture, the way the laces look, the soles, the stupid little porous holes.

Right now my only non-sneaker shoes in rotation are Paraboot Michaels and Reims but I'd love something with a round toe. I've got mono 1461s but they hurt my footsies. Maybe need to size up, idk.

Will upload some pairs I've come across and liked: Trickers x Evan Kinori Tramping Shoes, EK x Guidis, Viberg Rockland Blucher Black Waxy, Viberg 145s. Options that don't cost a billion dollars are the Doc 8053s in Crazy Horse but I don't love the black banding around the ankle. Red Wing Postmans aren't bad but I don't like the way the sole looks.

I've heard Viberg lasts are kinda stinky but just wondering what my options are. Mostly hoping there's somethings out there that aren't going to cost me $1,000+ Canadian.

I'm not sure if these are oxfords or derbies or bluchers because every brand uses those terms interchangeably. If any of these are bad options please don't be mad at me about it.
