As for that God awful white sole. Yuk.
They do look very comfortable though.

They are quite fashionable of late.

Would I wear them to a wedding or a corporate meeting? No, but for business casual, they are perfect.

I am old and crusty but I would wear those shoes to a wedding unless they won't slide on the dance floor. Allen Edmonds were great in the day but now I'm all about absolute comfort. May I ask the brand of that shoe you shared?

Out closets look like a shoe factory. 40+ pairs of golf shoes in different brands and colors, nothing inexpensive.
Everyday keens, teva, berks.
Brooks when we worked replaced every 3-6 months. But we also have different brands for running, hiking, and walking.
One light up closet specifically for Choos, Louies GG, and vintage purses. The girls get to shop from that closet for special birthdays.

Skechers Arch support slip-ons.
I used to wear a lot of sandals but fell and broke my leg in 2009 when the edge of the sandal tripped me. Since then I only wear sneakers.

Hoka without a doubt! Worth every penny. Try them on and walk a few steps and you'll see the difference.

The New Balance aren't doing it anymore and the flip flops just don't have the support plus I've tripped in them a few times and don't want to fall.
