    New Balance 574

    Nice, functional and not too dorky. You ever try those Hokas that everyone has been wearing lately? Some older folks in my life tried them and were shocked by how comfy they were for day-to-day.

      My personal favourites are the 574 core in light gray. They don’t look dorky at all. They’re pretty stylish.

      The Hokas though look like you’re wearing something meant for outer space.

        Maybe my sense of shoe fashion is a little out of date. Historically, any attempt to match trainers with a non-athletic outfit has seemed sorta dorky to me. Now, times have changed and skinny jeans aren’t in vogue anymore, so maybe my fashion sense is just outdated.

        The Hokas though look like you’re wearing something meant for outer space.

        Right??? It really kind of demands attention if you’re wearing it. I guess that’s a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your intention.

          Yeah wearing sneakers with a business casual attire is acceptable as long as the colors are pretty conservative and the shoes are clean.

          Today I was wearing a dark pink polo shirt with navy blue chino pants with a gray belt and my gray suede sneakers. That’s fine.

      I work in Healthcare, and people here swear by the Hokas. Never been worth the price for me because I also hate the look
