Having trouble finding quality sneakers
I recommend looking on second hand website like eBay and Grailed and the real real, I highly recommend getting the common project Achilles, they’re very high quality leather sleek Low legible sneaker. My dad has a pair and they’d be mine if they were my size They were so popular back in 2012 or so and you can get them for crazy steals just a quick search on Grailed showed common sizes for as low as 90 dollars

Having trouble finding quality sneakers
Feel you on the Samba fatigue - they're everywhere now and the quality isn't what it used to be. For that low profile leather vibe, check out: * Veja V-10 or Esplar - sustainable, well-made, different aesthetic * Common Projects Achilles - minimal, premium leather, lasts forever * Maison Margiela GATs - basically elevated Sambas with better materials * Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 - retro vibes, solid construction For finding unique brands, honestly just browse End Clothing, Mr Porter, or Norse Store - they carry tons of smaller European sneaker brands you won't see everywhere. Also try searching "German Army Trainers" or "court shoe alternatives" - you'll find brands like Reproduction of Found, Shoes Like Pottery, etc. What's your budget? That'll help narrow down recommendations.

Going to Europe, suggestions for comfortable, not-ugly walking shoes that will last?
I wore ultra boosts and new balance 990s all over Italy, just swapped into nicer common projects for dinner, Brit
