I'm not sure if my current ones will last another season. I need both a new summer- and winter pair.
I would like to get some advice on what brands you guys would recommend, in terms of looks, price, quality and availability.
I've had three brands for now:
- Leguano: my first barefoot shoes. Great build quality, synthetic, washable. I'm using them mainly for going outdoors and jogging. But pretty much all made from the brand look horribly imo.
- Zaqq: Good looking casual shoes, but they don't have the best build quality, at least the ones I bought. They weren't as ergonomical and pretty slippy too. But for office, they were fine. Had two identical pairs.
- Feelgrounds: My first pair winter shoes. The fabric did look really bad after just a few months, they aren't warm enough (bad sole insulation) and they are moist 24/7. They soak up water super quickly and will never release it anymore, even if they are on the radiator the whole night. Won't buy again.

Preferably, I'd like to have synthetic shoes made out of robust fabric.
Leather shoes would be fine too, if I can get them used in good condition (I don't wanna contribute to the industry).
I'm mainly looking for:
- Good looking casual shoes, especially for office
- Also, decent looking ones, but for the colder months.
Washability is very important for me, at least for the ones I want to wear for lab. They either have to be great looking, or decently + washable. I work with a lot of chemicals and dirt, and being able to just throw them into the washing mashine is a huge plus. My leather ones already looked ...unique... after just a few months of wearing, with colorful sparkles and random stuff all over them :D
But still, I'd rather like to wear a pair that looks dirty than non-stylish ๐
