Different brands make walking shoes, which usually are like scaled down (and styled down) tennis shoes. Something like this:

I used to wear a pair of Asics walking shoes as casual shoes, but they didn't breathe well. There's nothing wrong with wearing regular trainers if you want to.
I have a pair of Sketchers too and I wouldn't wear them for anything remotely athletic. They're just not snug or cushioned like athletic shoes.
From how you describe your suits i would go with a Seiko presage Coktail time (Blue), it's a nice automatic that will slide right under your shirt and also a very popular clock by enthusiasts even though it's a lower pricerange clock. If you are thinking of using 1k on watches i would shop around for a 2-3 watches to circulate.
Seiko presage coktail: - 320 USD
For a more "Buff" alternative this clock has a beautiful dial and at a very nice price.
Invicta pro diver - 110 USD
The CW - trident collection is a beautiful collection of watches perfect for daily use.
CW: Trident - Price varies by model but a lot of their "Slicker" watches are the ones at the 500 USD mark
Sketchers These are based and alot of people I work with wear them. Had them for 6 months and no issues with stock insoles. They are on sale right now it looks like to.

For something that is on the dressier side but still can be worn casually I have these choices (links from amazon for reference)

My recommendation is to stay away from divers, pilot and chronographs if he wants to wear them on classier occasions. Of course a lot of people love to break the rule, which is totally fine.
But these watches can be worn to work (aren't too flashy, seiko is mostly known to watch enthusiasts anyway), have lot of color choices amd can be worn on classier occasions.
Those look sweet. I have these fitkicks and love them. I wear them for workouts and around the house. They make me feel like a ninja. They might slip a little bit on sumo deadlifts though.
I bought Aleader water shoes. They have a thick sole and toe protection for 8oz per pair. I think the holes in the bottom might be perfect for getting rocks stuck in there, but I didn't try them out in the field (I returned them, the mesh part isn't as stretchy as I imagined and fit tight, so if I bought them again I'd buy a 1/2 size up).
I also bought the fitkicks which seemed fine. They were about 8oz for a pair, maybe a hair under. Nice rigidity in the sole even for being thin and minimal. Most of the weight is in the soles, it's a Vibram, I believe. Not much toe protection, but nice thing with these is that they pack as flat as flipflops. I haven't field tested these either. They have limited sizing S/M/L which is a little frustrating ... and I bought the large, which ended up being clown shoes on me (I wear a 9.5-10 mens), so I just returned them a couple days ago. The protection would be on par with sandals, so if you don't like sandal straps or don't want to wear socks with sandals, these would work well for that.
I'm not sure if either of these are right for what you are looking for, but I thought I'd throw you a couple more options.
May I recommend fitkicks? Super packable and lightweight.

Also, chacos. Duh.
Ok, so here are all the ones I've tried. And I did, in fact, purchase them all on Amazon. All of them came from Vivobarefoot's store on Amazon with the exception for the Scott. The Scott was had on 6pm.com's Amazon store and I got them for $89.99 and that is excellent value, IMO.
I was skeptical like you are, based on the reviews I read but you always should keep in mind most people aren't going to write reviews unless they're unhappy. Your data is going to be negatively biased and what's more we as humans generally remember negative feedback more than positive. Better to err on the side of caution, but if you're able to take a chance you might be pleasantly surprised!
And I have been.
I can't say these shoes are "built to last" in the sense that, like you say, they're not made to be re-soled, but they don't feel any less durable than the majority of sneakers I was wearing before hand from brands like Nike and Adidas. I tried wearing 'nicer' shoes like Allen Edmonds and just could not find ones that agreed with my feet, so I can't really compare quality there.
The boots I can compare my Scott to are my L.L. Bean Bean Boots and my Jack Erwin Chelsea Boots. The bean boots were sized as properly as I could get them, but they were never comfortable. They're made to be rugged and they're made to be worn with really thick socks, I have a really narrow build and my calves, ankles, and feet are lean like the rest of me. I always felt like I had too much room and would sometimes get rubbed in places because of it. The Jack Erwins Chelseas are kind of the opposite in every sense, they're made for less rugged activity and I liked pretty much everything about them. They felt formed to my leg and foot well and while I am not in love with the arch support, it doesn't kill me. If I was going to be walking around all day I probably would opt for something else.
Comparing the Scott to those, they're functionally my favorite boot. Hard to get on sometimes like I mentioned, but I hardly realize I'm wearing them when they're on. Zero "support" and lots of ground feel and I love it. I don't live in a cold area and I haven't tested the weather resistance or whatever they called it, but I imagine they would be fine for a rush to or from your vehicle.
Everything else I've gotten from them are shoes, I'll give a brief comment on each of them.
My advice would be to either review their return policy on their website and buy there or to just order through Amazon, who has a tremendously forgiving return policy.
And--not to be rude or whatever--but I think expecting to re-sole a ~$150 pair of shoes is ambitious for most brands. Even if it's possible, I don't know that it'd be worth it. I say that, but I've never re-soled a pair of shoes and am pretty ignorant in that regard so I could be totally mistaken.

Try this one. I have no idea if this one is any good or not, but it seems to be what you’re looking for. Or maybe this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VWBV54Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_91I2Cb2SSXVCC
It sounds as if you don’t care about automatics and that’s great. It will save you some cash. Enjoy it.
Amazon of course. Bought these two years ago and they're still going strong, with every use cause I wear them both to work and the gym
I've been eyeing the Seiko SRPB41 for a few years now, and this seller on Amazon recently dropped it to $275. I know that's well under the usual price, but should I pull the trigger or wait until Black Friday?
Are these two watches the same?

On the subject of dress shoes. I ride to work in these bad boys now. Skate shoes with a nice classy look.

ps - also these are called "ski" but they kind of look like skateboarding shoes to me?? https://www.amazon.com/Drew-Ski-Mens-Oxford-Black-Denim/dp/B07GYX53KV/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=drew%2Bski&qid=1567447484&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1 but I am 50 and never skateboarded even when young.:) What do you think??
After reading some comments, I'm going to guess he's buying the wrong size shoe. It shouldn't move around, thus causing friction and wear&tear, but it shouldn't be small enough to where its constantly under strain once his foot is in.
I like Sketchers blacks for work - Professional enough looking and comfortable. They aren't a dress shoe, but not a running shoe.
Then I have two different pairs of shoes for non-work related things, one black and and blue, both... New Balance, I think? I'm not sure (currently at work.)
The other suggestion is to make sure he's untying his shoes at the end of the day. Again - strain on the shoe when pulling them off with your feet will cause them to decline like crazy.
Switching between shoes will help too.
These are what I'm currently rocking and they're incredible! Supportive, decently waterproof and they look quite stylish.
Nike Toki Low.
I really like the floral
I do a bit of canoeing and wet weather hiking during early spring trips. I just got a pair of these. While I can't offer an opinion on the hiking aspect of these yet, I just got them last week, they are very much like other zero drop shoes. While I mostly plan on using them during the entirety of 5 day canoe trips, when I will unavoidably be in the water. I will supplement some hiking trips with these when wet weather or river crossings are expected. I have abandoned the idea of dry feet all the time and embraced what I call an open system that is quick drying and allows me to not be burdened with the fear of getting my feet wet. For socks I just use whatever nice athletic synthetic ones I can find at Marshall's and they have tons cheap. I know Adidas makes many other boating/water shoes that look more like trail runners though I have no experience with any of them. Prior to this I have been using a pair of lace up Bass neoprene water shoes. I have no idea what model as I got them at a Goodwill for $8.00. I've gotten 5 years out of them so far and it was time to upgrade. My only concern is that the neoprene shoes insulate your feet and keep them a little warmer. I have yet to test the mesh of the new shoes but have no delusions about any real insulative properties. I do carry extra socks though only swap them out at the end of the day, on longer breaks I just take off my shoes and socks. I plan on getting a pair of real trail runners for actual hiking soon as I would not want to do 10+ miles per day in the new ones, but for canoe trips and around 5 mile day hikes they should be fine. Merrell seems to make several models of what they call a Hiking Water Shoe as do Salomon and several others, that's another route you could go. Good luck.
Ich habe sehr gute Erfahrungen mit Schuhen der Marke Ecco. Diese hier kommen deiner Vorstellung schon recht nahe.
My husband is a restaurant manager and is on his feet probably 10 hours a day. He says these shoes are great. If they don't fit well you can return them for free.
Darn... Thought they were these in grey and I was excited because I've never seen them here before and I'm starting to think they're ugly
