Well for work, I work in a corporate environment, so I have dress shoes. Some brown Florsheims (spelling?) and some black Kenneth Coles.
But off work, its all NIKE for me.
-
I'm very lucky that I work in a very casual environment (shorts, short sleeve button down shirt, etc) so I can get away with wearing Flip Flops and Sandals which is also what I wear when I'm not at work. In the Summer of course.
-
Dress shoes at work. New Balance running shoes, flip flops or barefooted at all other times.

I wear Skechers that sort of look like low top motorcycle boots at work. Away from work... tennis shoes, sandals...... or on a good day... GOLF SHOES!

or on a good day... GOLF SHOES!

On duty I wear Magnum Stealth boots, issued so it's nice, and I'll also wear them on my days off in the winter cause they are warm and great for snow and ice. Summertime I go with the 'skater' shoes cause I've got a wide food and they are the most comfortable.

-
dress shoes; New Balance sneakers for the gym and Adidas golf shoes.
-
Nike's at the hospital, Causal shoes to church and when I meet customers for my business - other than that it is flip-flops all the way. Even in winter.
I have many pairs of flipflops. I have a pair of cheap rubber ones I wear when I clean out the pool(no matter how hard you try, you WILL get wet) another rubber pair in the RV for those campground showers, leather ones, fabric ones, ones with a bottle opener built into the bottom(beer, you know) etc.......
My wife calls me the shoe 'ho
-
I wear Justin Ropers to work with my blues, Green Boots with ABU's.
Off duty I wear Nike Shox, Flip flops, boat shoes, and leather type shoes.
-
Unless it's raining (not an issue during summer in Central Texas), I'm on my bike (45mpg baby!), so I'm usually in motorcycle boots of some sort.
Today I'm wearing my Red Wings:

At home, barefoot.
-
New Balance at all times.
-
I wear anything by new balance for work and in the summer nothing but my flip flops

With police uniform it's Justins black, smooth toe uniform state patrol boot with western heel. Off duty, a variety of different brand cowboy boots. Run in Nikes. Cant stand the flip flops....
-
I almost always wear boots of some sort. Most of the time I wear my Double H packer boots, when I dont feel like lacing them up I wear my Double H riding boots, I forgot the name of them, but they have a shorter heel than my packers. When I do chores like milking and such I wear my rubber chore boots. I have worn mt chore boots to the movies with shorts on, the wife hates it. Before I ran bloomsday this year, I hadnt owned a pair of shoes since about 7th grade. Even though I own a pair of shoes, I wore them one day. In the summer I go barefoot most of the time, every once in a while I wear flip flops to town but not normally because my feet are whiter than white while my arms and face are brown.
-
At work I have some black and brown dress shoes. Away from work it's almost always my Justin Pitstop Lace-ups. I have a pair of Nike tennis shoes I've owned for almost 7 years. They are no where near worn out. Wife bought me some flip flops at the dollar store this year, so I have worn those a couple times to the pool.
I swear by my Justins, I've had them resoled twice and the wife is trying to convince me to get them replaced. Told her no way, they're just getting broken in.
-
For work it just depends on what I am doing and the weather conditions. If I'm just driving I will wear flip flops or deck shoes. When chaining/unchaining loads I'll wear a pair of boots. I carry 6 or 7 pairs of shoes and boots in the truck at all times as I hate to wear muddy or wet shoes and work in all sorts of weather.
At home I wear my flip flops almost exclusively year-round.
-
Depends on where I'm working... when I'm working at the house (which is most of the time) I'm either barefoot or in flip flops... customer meeting and training, dress shoes... gym... Nike runners.
Throw all bets out the window in the winter time... mostly wear snow boots!!
-
gym... Nike runners.
What kind of Nike runners do you use? I just bought a pair of these on Saturday and they are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn:

Hey BB
Do you like the RedWings? I've been looking for some sport-touring boots and I've been looking at the low rise Red Wings.

I love the Red Wings. Great boots and are holding up great. I personally wouldn't go within anything shorter than the 11-inchers shown here.
