V pricey, but John Elliott, or their website as inspiration. Leather sneakers, something more structured than allbirds. |
I really like those Nike Waffles - thinking of getting them for myself |
Nobody suggesting the Hey Dudes? My 41 year old husband and all the other 40s dads in our neighborhood wear them

Hey dudes are a summer shoe --they would look ridiculous with socks showing |
Anything either:
1. Retro (think sambas, adidas TRX, nike air max or vans) or 2. the male equivalent of the basic white tennis shoe that see women everywhere wearing (https://www.veja-store.com/en_us/men) or 3. if they prefer more of a running shoe look anything Bright colored- NB/adidas/ ON sneakers |
DH tried these. He went back to Cole Haan Zerogrands because they had some that were more uniform without the two different materials/colors, still casual but a loose more sophisticated. |
What neighborhood is that? Not in my neighborhood. |
All Birds |
Lots of people in their 30s wear allbirds... I don't get this comment that they're for 60 +? - a woman in her 30s who loves allbirds, so does my husband, and we have friends that love them too |
Why can't he just go to a store and look at the shoes, try them on and then buy them. Sorry but, if my dh said " I don't trust your judgement" then my involvement would stop |
All birds, common projects, Nike dunk low

DH wears his dunks, jordans, AF1s, or air maxes. But he is usually coaching kids sports in these outfits so needs something athletic. |
OP, do not buy these. They hurt my soul. I think and hope you’re getting trolled. |
West Coast chiming in. Allbirds were the thing pre-pandemic here, but now it’s just grandpas wearing them to school pickup to fetch their grandchildren and to the grocery store. |
I think it's far weirder that you didn't buy a pair of shoes because some random dad in your neighborhood also has them. |
