Go to REI and get yourself a lifetime membership, and a pair of the Merrell Jungle Mocs. They might be about 75-80 bucks. Slipon shoes, comfortable. My legs swell up on long drives, I use the Merrells, and have gotten two pairs of Merrell hiking boots, and a pair of Keen sandals from them, also a pair of Merrell walking shoes. All have lasted pretty well because I only use the walking shoes for walking at home in my neigborhood, the one pair of Merrells for hiking, the other pair of Merrells for hiking local trails and the mocs for everything else. For work I have a pair of Timberland Oxford Pro slip ons, very comfortable. When I get home I switch to a pair of junker Mocs that I still have. I found a pair of Wolverine work boots that were cheap but are comfortable for working outside. I am a porker, and destroy the Timberlands and the Mocs, and need to replace them every 6 months or so, but I've had the Keen and Merrell hiking boots for a couple years now. I haven't worn them out yet.
