So I've just been offered a new job and I need a pair of trainers/shoes I can wear. I wore my brown brogues to the interview (I have a black pair as well) and the boss told me I didn't need to dress as smart. So it's sort of smart-casual but more on the casual side (engineering firm). I showed him my GATs and he said they'd be fine, does anyone have any suggestions for relatively "smart" casual shoes I can buy? I was thinking desert boots or something? Maybe not something super preppy like boat shoes or loafers though.

Possibly a bit too trainer-y? I'm not even sure what I'm trying to describe here.

maybe Puma super liga or adidas sambas, but if you've already got a pair of GATs those 2 options are pretty redundant.
Common Projects are ideal for this type of dress but they're overpriced.
I don't love the look of Chukka boots or desert boots but they're probably a good fit for what you're looking for. Or wallabees maybe.
Check out some off white colorways of Stan Smiths.

These thom brownes or something similar, or loafers. Loafers are super casual but will look nicer than whatever everyone else is wearing

Svenssons are the best you can get at that price point.

Fucking hell I'm having trouble processing the fact that some shoe company thought there's a chance kids will want the same sneakers as a football pundit.

Beckett Simonon. I own a pair and quite happy with them.
It's just you'll have to wait 3 months.
