Walking shoes/boots that can be used for work?

[tmg]

Hi all, looking for some suggestions as to shoes/boots that can be worn 'smart' at work (with chinos or jeans style trousers), but which are comfortable for walking several miles each day on pavement. I'm currently wearing either Trickers or Jeffery West boots, both of which have leather soles and are comfortable to wear, but not so great for walking any distance.

Preference would be brown leather uppers (regular or suede), with a dainite, mini vibram or similar thin but functional sole), not bothered whether they are lace-ups or slip on, and brogue or toe cap would probably help with the 'smart' side of things

G, I've been looking at those, but not sure about the toe, looks slightly bulbous, and actually reminds me of DM shoes. Build wise they look great though…..not sure my (British) sense of humour can get past that name though
