My wife loves these type of shoes, too..... the brand she prefers are
"Keen." We just picked up another pair on sale for her at Gander
Mountain for $30.00.

Hopefully, you don't wear sandals.

That would just ruin my whole impression of you being a guy's kind of
guy. :)

And the first one who says gay is going to get a personal visit.

Nah.... I haven't had a pair of sandals on since I was about 8 years
old. Actually, I almost always wear boat shoes.* I wear Vasques when I
hike, RedWings when I'm doing heavy work, and I have a really neat pair
of Cruiser motorcycle boots for the dresser.

*Boat shoes are a problem. For decades I wore Rockports, but now that
they have shipped production overseas the quality is so low I wouldn't
be caught dead in a pair. I tried a pair of Sebagos and goddam near went
lame. (My bad, I *REALLY* need arch support and they were as flat as the
floor.) I'm wearing a pair of Sperry Top-Siders, now, but they just
aren't (the old) Rockports. Anybody have any other quality options?

PS
The closest I have come to considering, uh, in-the-closet shoes is the
Crocs with leather uppers....
