Best everyday sneakers
Posted on 5/28/23 at 1:37 pm

I need some new sneakers that look good but are very comfortable. For the record, I'm 64 and can afford better things if I want to. I'm getting drawn to the NB 990V6 because I think you can get several years out of them vs the 9-12 months out of cheaper ones. I already have some yard work shoes and some sports shoes. I will wear these a lot because I don't work anymore.
Thoughts?

I have a couple of pairs of New Balance FreshFoam Hierro v7. They are insanely comfortable for all day wear.

My fleet feet had a pair of Topo’s, which I had never heard of before, but liked how they fit and decided to give them a shot. CEO worked at rockport and then was the CEO of vibram before starting his own company. I was looking for a good everyday shoe I could do a lot of walking in, and these are great.

Brooks are pretty good. My feet never hurt in them.

NB 990
Good choice. Made in the US.

You can’t go wrong with any of the 990s from 3 to 6 as an everyday shoe (v1 and v2 are a bit more on the “retro” side)

Made in USA new balances are a good place to look

I’m on my 7th or 8th pair of NB990 series. Best shoe I’ve ever owned but last pair was over $200. They have about priced me out of the market

Buy a pair of merrel hiking shoes. I finally did and won't wear anything else. These are hands down the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.
I'm a bit older so I'm not running anymore and I dang sure ain't playing tennis.

I prefer NB 993’s.

I had the New Balance 1080 (I think), around $150, for years. They are on a whole other level than the cheap New Balances.
I switched to Brooks adrenaline, around $130.
I walk a lot and the Brooks have been holding up a lot better, but I also use shoe inserts for more support for both brands. I’m changing my shoes 4 times a year, not once a year.

55 here, when you say sneakers, to me that means something of an athletic shoe that you aren't wearing running or in the gym, ie with casual dress.
My thoughts are you want something toned down, without some crazy silhouette. Herewith (1) NB 574 - very comfortable, huge variety of colorways and looks retro - silhouette is a little chunky, but still works with a variety of pant widths as well as shorts (2) NB 237, even more retro and more minimal, but is comfortable, nice variety of colors and you can make it go with anything. (3) NB 327, still retro, slimmer on the foot, but has more midsole which is flared, and has a heel wrap (4) Veja Rio Branco - step up in price, very nice quality, comfortable and great looking.
If you want some white leather sneaks, check out Koio. Made in Italy, expensive (not as expensive as Common Projects, but more comfortable if you ask me). More tennis or court shoe vive vs running shoe vibe. Quality of materials is nice and comfort is exceptional. Adidas Stan Smith Lux is little rounder, but a nice alternative - just make sure you get the Lux version, the standard version quality is terrible now.
This is a drop in the bucket, and you said you don't mind spending a few bucks. These are all quality and will last and look good in casual settings.
