Of course no shoes are going to last a lifetime but I’m trying to build a pretty good collection (are made in Japan converse worth it?)
I never understood the appeal of converse. They are thinly built, offer no cushion or support, and to me... Look like shoes I'd see on kids in their teens (no offense OP). I'd pick up some Arcteryx shoes for trail, climbing and something like Brooks Glycerins for city walking. Anything else would be in the business/dress up category and wouldn't be something to ask me about.

Best Running Shoes According to Reddit Users
I wear Brooks. Have Adrenaline GTS, Ghost and Hyperion (level of support from most to least). I enjoy wearing the Hyperions the most because they feel weightless but they're not supportive and meant for speed training. I run indoors for what it's worth. Haven't tried the Glycerin but they are popular and a new one just dropped (Glycerin max 2 I believe). Nice thing about running shoes is you're supposed to replace them after a while so no need to BIFL.

What are the best shoes for standing all day?
When I was working in production company then I need to stand for 6 hour in 8 hour shift. It was very tough for me to stand all day then a friend suggested me to use Brooks glycerine, these are very comfortable.

Best walking shoes for men: which ones do you recommend?
I’d say Brooks Glycerin 22 or up if you like a real cushioned and floaty step, Brooks Beast 22 or up if you like the idea of the Glycerin but need a more solid step. The Beasts are hard to find in stores, but very worth trying if you feel like the Glycerin is too cushy. The adrenaline is a nice shoe but I prefer more of the stabilizing facets of the Beast. Good luck!!

If you're not putting serious miles on them, a lot of Asics models provide plenty of cushion without bilk and are comfortable for long days (my preference for work shoes as a nurse on my feet for 12-13 hours at a time) but if you're walking serious mileage, you'll want more cushion such as the Hoka Clifton or the Brooks Glycerin, based on my personal experience. I trained and ran many races in Hokas believing that distance running meant I was forced to have blisters no matter what, but I haven't had any since I started running in Brooks Glycerins. Working/ standing in the Hokas was much more comfortable and I'd walk or stand in those all day over the Glycerin, but if I'm running, it is gonna be in Brooks.

I just went to fleet feet for the first time last weekend. Absolutely changed my life. I've always had constant foot pain my whole life just from standing. After spending almost 2 hours in the store, I ended up getting Brooks Glycerins and have had zero pain since. Since my feet are fucked, I've also got some custom inserts on the way.

Brooks Glycerin. I know it’s technically a running shoe but isn’t running just aggressively walking? lol
