What kind of footwear do you wear, most likely throw on before you leave the house?

In cooler weather, my Dan Post boots or Justin Ropers for casual; my Allen Edmonds loafers or lace-up dress shoes for work. Occasionally boat shoes, no idea of the brand, to go to the grocery or to wash the car. In hot weather, i.e., most of the year, I wear the boat shoes for casual things, and the AEs for work.
Running shoes, only if I'm working out.

Either 1) worn out Nike Air that is still holding up or 2) even more worn out Reebok something that I just left outside.
Danner Boots for work and a pair of Asics otherwise.

Skechers memory foam wide fit. Been buying the same ones BOGO (always on sale) from Payless for years. Great shoes for the price.
I have wide English Feet, current shoes from Walmart.
Unless I am dressing up for some reason or need special purpose footwear like Vibram soled hiking shoes, a pair of $19.95 slip on tennis shoes from Target fits the bill. In fact I have several pair in different colors with the oldest pair relegated for garage duty and washing the car and other light outdoor tasks.
NB, Adidas, Skechers, Puma, Nike, and my 11 year old Red Wing boots that still look brand new.
Sometimes it's a PITA changing shoes on my prosthetic leg.

For work I have to look presentable. I get away with wearing black chukka boots. They are very light and comfortable all day long. I believe that shoes that are overly padded and that have molded footbeds will with constant use weaken your feet. That's why I privately wear minimalist/barefoot walking and running shoes, mostly Xero and Vivobarefoot. Around the house I walk barefoot as do I on the beach and outdoors when possible.
This time of the year I wear flip flops (currently Combat Flip Flops) or sneakers (currently New Balance.)
For work I wear steel toes, either Red Wing work boot style or Wolverine hiker style.

I just got another pair of Clark desert boots 2. List price is around $130 but they are cheap as chips on amazon.com. I think I paid $60. I went with dark brown (beeswax) leather. I used to buy the original Clark desert boots with the crepe sole. However, the crepe sole doesn't last long and it gets filthy looking. The desert boot 2 (Bushacre 2) has a synthetic rubber sole that is supposed to last much longer while staying cleaner looking. Although a bit less soft, the boot is still really comfortable. No insole, just a thin heel.pad, the way I like my shoes and boots. Word of caution, for me they run half a size large and I always order wide and a half size smaller than with most other footwear.
If I understand it correctly there are three versions of the Clark desert boot:
1. Desert Boot (modern version of the original from 1948) with crepe sole.
2. Desert Boot 2 (Bushacre 2) with synthetic sole
3. Desert Boot 3 (Bushacre 3) with synthetic rubber sole and with removable insole.
Breaking in nicely.
