This is why I spent my highschool years in combat boots. Ankle support, tough soles, the same footwear was great for hiking, shopping, whatever. Inconspicuous if your pant legs cover them.
Like $40 at the time. Lasted me beyond school.
Only downside was I lived in a desert so too much time outside would make them really hot. That, and I got a lot of people scuffing them going “HEY ARE THOSE STEEL TOE?!” (they were not)
Meanwhile shoes that fall apart in 3 months had some giant billboard logo so you’d have to keep up with their latest image, I guess. Gross.
No not really. Just pick almost any brand besides Nike or Adidas, and you’ll have basically no recogniseable branding besides some small tag on the slap under shoe laces.
I’ll throw Halti’s shoes as example because I like these specific ones
Sure, but good luck finding a decent quality running shoe without conspicuous branding at a local shop though.
Can’t wear it, if they don’t make it.

Thanks for mentioning that. I have no idea how to judge a shoe’s quality. I have to do some research
brb, gonna run a marathon in a pair of Oxfords

I’ve never even heard of Halti, let alone seen one in a store.
Around these parts, if you want a blank running shoe, you pay $20 at the local superstore then $200 at the doctor’s office, a few times a year each.
