Advice for shoes/sneakers that are (a) professional enough to wear to office with nice jeans on Friday, (b) suitable for work outs and/or light hiking?

Check out the Cole Haan zero grand stitchlite. The Oxford design makes them dressy enough for casual Friday’s but the knit upper and sole are comfortable enough for basic workouts / hiking. Would probably get actual athletic shoes for anything more strenuous though

you are going to basically have to go cole haan to find a shoe that meets all of these requirements. the style you choose, if for work (e.g. zerogrand oxfords), may not be appropriate style for working out/hiking but they will probably serve fine from a technical perspective.

Thinking this probably requires two different pairs but curious if anyone has recommendations. Thanks!

Depends on the city. In West coast, ultra boosts are pretty common, no one cares. You could also go with boots if the weather calls for it, those could work dually.

I love wearing Doc Martens to the office on Friday. They make me feel like a rockstar. I’ve hiked in them, but I don’t think they’d work at the gym. I also buy about two pair of Converse Chuck Taylor every time I go to the Q center for training, I wear them on Fridays and to the gym.

GREATS make an awesome all white leather sneaker that would go really well with jeans and not look toooo informal. They’re basically cheaper versions of common projects.
