Boots for ‘old men’...??

[spuds]

Gents your advice please!!

I’ve just spent much of the last twenty four hours schlepping round the mainly cobbled streets of London with my wife: sightseeing and shopping, and generally ‘having a day in town’.

However I was wearing commando-soled Cheaney Avon’s and now my shins are bloody killing me!!

Any thoughts on something that might be a bit more ‘forgiving’ while still being ‘smart casual’??

I’m too old for trainers (although I’ll often wear Adidas Gazelles to the pub or the footy) and I need something a bit more ‘cushioned’ than commando-soles, but smarter than the average trainer??

I’ve looked at the Grensons with the ‘crepe looking?’ soles but not entirely convinced that the sole and the upper quote work together, so Gents I’d be grateful for any suggestions: Thank you.


Update:
Bearing in mind I’m not sure I’d be entirely comfortable with bright white soles does anyone have any experience of Redwing Boots and/or more specifically these?
