I've recently found myself looking up at the cloudy midwestern sky and admiring the clouds as well. They're awe-inspiring and hardly anyone notices.

For the shoes -- what style do you want? Sneakers? Running shoes?

    For the shoes -- what style do you want? Sneakers? Running shoes?

Unlike what I stated in the previous replies to this question in the thread, I now understand that I was meaning to ask about shoes for daily wearing. I'm looking for the general guidelines for looking for shoes, as well as the specific information on which kinds of material are best suited for me. My feet sweat heavily, and while different socks might help, I heard my mother telling me to look for leather shoes, and I'd like to figure out if it's correct but have no reliable material. I'd like to get personal experience rather than trusting the online articles.

I can't imagine that leather shoes would wick away much moisture. For the daily wear shoes, are you looking for something more formal like oxfords or something casual like Stan Smiths?

I'm looking for something that looks semi-formal while being comfortable enough to wear for half a day or more. I wear a semi-formal combo of dark trousers, white shirt with sleaves rolled up and a plain casual black tie. I'd like something that says neither "office worker", "attorney" nor "hipster".
