What's a good pair of boots that are good for everyday needs but look good too aka not a sneaker boot. I travel between states and often stop and think "man if something went down I am not dressed for the occasion"
Tl;dr a good pair of boots for the grey man/ prepper that doesn't want to wear tactical boots

Look into work boots.
Do you want to blend in as a greyman or is this some gucci grey man? You don't want to look like a hobo I get it, so just look at non bling workboots that comes in plain brown, tan or black.
I've ran in steel toes fine.

I like Vasque's St. Elias boots as a camping/erry day kind of boot. Should look fine with jeans imo, but I'm no /fa/g.

We got some very nice off-road running shoes in the mil.
I had to google what they are actually called, but they appear to be "Terrex Tracerocker_GTX" shoes. Really sturdy sole. They are not too wide so you constantly stumble over things, and not too narrow so you can't keep balanced. They work very well, and I have used them as my normal every day shoes ever since.
They aren't waterproof or anything, but they get you from A to B, and can handle a very rough beating.
Every time it rains or I want to go a longer distance, or it's cold outside I just get out my old mil-boots. Proper full boots. Waterproof up to the top, sturdy as fuck. Can break a man's ribs and jaw no problem. Fire and oil resistant. Who gives a shit about what other people think about your shoes?

Look into red wings or doc martens, pricey sure, but they're durable and look good. Or just get some milsurp jungle/jump/combat boots like what they used in the gulf era, once you get them worn in they're comfy (at least for me) and after you get used to the weight running isn't difficult.

Not Gucci grey man but not trying to be the guy wearing jungle boots all the time.

Boots'n'Pants looks rad though.
You just have to either shine them every single day, or never ever clean them.
Anything inbetween is a sin against the way god intended boots to be worn and only faggots don't shine their boots.

Alright, then avoid the obvious camo style or anything too military looking. From what I've seen and experienced. If you look like a general laborer type or contractor, most people would not give you a second glance. Obviously avoid looking like a goddamn hipster from Portland who wears workplaid for 'teh irony'. Unless that is what 90% of your crowd looks like, then I suggest getting the fuck out of there asap.
