Vans Era Wingtip

Vans Eras are pretty much classics by most standards. While you may not be able to get away with any of the flashy collab colorways or checkerboard versions, the Wingtip edition seems to be made for the daily paper pushers in the world.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

Chucks may be the most questionable of office attire for this list but there is no doubt you can get away with these. Hell, so many people have been wearing Chucks over the years, there's a good possibility your boss has worn them to the office already. We don't advise calling him out on it but hey, do what you gotta do.

A good low-key colorway of the Reebok Workout, like the recently released Peanut Butter Pack, should be a no-brainer for defeating your desk job woes. There's plenty of reasons this sneaker is considered a classic and this is just one more to add to its resume.

The Nike SB Janoski is a shoe that seems to never go away and we ain't mad at that one bit. The Janoski is comfortable as can be, and, in the right colors, can have a very upscale feel to it, which makes it perfect for nearly any kind of dress code you may have to endure.

Clae Powell

Clae is an easy choice for getting by the strictest of upper management. Plenty of styles in the Clae collection fit the bill but the Powell is a good choice for any office environment. The Clae Powell's wingtip inspiration should pass any look-down tests your boss may give you as you slide in to the office late from last night's escapades.

Super lean and super clean, the lightweight Vans OTW Canyon is a perfect silhouette for the 9-5 lifestyle.

adidas Originals Foray

There's a brown, black and a version with a combination of both, which gives you a trio of options from adidas.
