I know boots are the best but is there any everyday shoes that would be decent

IMO, anything with good ankle protection and covers the foot.

basketball hi-tops (with laces tucked in) are pretty normal around SoCal.

What is it about boots you don't like? Cost? Style? Heat?

There are motorcycle boots that will respond to each of those issues.

They make boots that work for everyday. I know many a rider who wears their boots to the office and no one can tell until they pull their pant leg up.

Some are styled to be lower for more everyday use as well. The important part is that it's a strong material (leather) with good stitching and over the ankle protection.

I just bought a new pair of boots/shoes (too low to be called "boots", to high to be called "shoes) for work/everyday use. My choice, Doc Martins. They cover my ankle but they don't go up to far. They look at home with my slacks for work or my jeans for play. Besides that, they are Doc Martins, man, and that's just plain cool.

If you own a pair, you should at least be able to spell them. Take another look at that label

Course, if the label says "Doc Martins" you might not be wearing what you think you're wearing

Oh sure, make me look like a goober. Not only on here, but here at my office when I'm sitting at my desk with my foot pulled up to within inches of my face so I can read the bottom of my shoe. You are correct, it says Dr. Martens on the bottom.

"Doc Martens" is an acceptable way to refer to them.. just remember the "e"

Diadora Express. Ordered some today. Will give an update on everyday wearability (that a word?).
