Slot 1 of 6

The Everyday Dad Shoe

If you could only own one pair, this is it. It works almost anywhere, and comfort, support, and durability come first.

I recommend a slip-in or step-in shoe, since this will be your most-worn shoe, and ideally leather.

My current pick

Nike Air Force 1 Low FlyEase / EasyOn (White)

My current everyday pair. Heads up: Nike discontinued this one, so it’s resale only now, on StockX.
