Walking long distance with a light pack.

I've been wearing Xero shoes as my preferred every day shoe and my hiking shoe of choice for a while. I got a few pairs on a steep sale and now my last pair is starting to die.

I don't mind getting more, but I'd like to see what else is out there. I used to wear Altra and I've gotten Hobbart shoes, but those were weird shaped and rubbed on my pinky toes.

Any suggestions for foot shaped shoes? I'd prefer some cushion like Altras and bonus if there's a business casual looking variety

Lems, but they are zero drop.

They've got a lot of shoes with wide toe boxes. I grew up barefoot and hate cramped shoes.

Holy shit they're locally available too!
