After dealing with suede and finding out the hard way how high maintenance it is,I had to give up on some new pairs I was really look forward to buying.Anyway,I'm now looking to buy some new pairs of shoes mostly for summer right now but also some which work all year round?

Anything high quality/high maintenance is a no go because I can't give them the care they need.I have sweaty feet so I rarely wear slippers,sandals and I just generally don't like espadrilles,I do have a pair of Crocs which I love.

Anyway,I had a lot of succes with cheaper leather shoes which I could easily get wet on a rainy day,fixing them up being an easy task.Also loved shoes like Panda Dunks,back when they were popular and also owned lots of pairs from Asics and New Balance like the Asics NYC which is a mix of mesh and other materials all of these being basically washing machine friendly on a short cold cycle.

As I said before,right now I'm more specifically looking for summer shoes which aren't too bulky,look good and are breathae but anything that goes well multiple seasons is fine as well as buying shoes for certain weather won't work for me as I live in an European country with very bipolar weather.

(Also I hate super popular shoes like idk Air Force 1's or very bulky shoes like the Nike Shox which I feel like look weird if you're not wearing pants over them)

Edit:One more thing,if possible,please keep each recommendation under 200€ as I'm a student on a fairly low budget

(Post ended up being very long,y'all can just skip ahead to the end with the examples of shoes I like)

I'm having a very hard time finding a few pair of shoes that fit my needs.Basically,I bought a pair of Adidas Spezials about 3 years ago and I had no idea how to care for them.They were mostly leather with a little suede on the outside so I could get away with using the washing machine but I recently learned that's not the way to wash suede shoes.So now I'm stuck with a pair of lightly discolored Spezials and a synthetic leather pair of Vans that I can luckily throw in the washing machine on a short and cold cycle.

After having learned that suede shoes are supposed to be hand washed,any pairs that I liked became a no go for me.I live in Spain where the weather is very diverse so I'm looking to buy a few pair of shoes that are more or less wearable all year round.I hate espadrilles and sandals during summer as I struggle with sweaty feet and hands due to hyperhidrosis so my feet get very dirty.Which brings me to my other problem.I also can't wear leather during summer because my feet heat up and sweat like crazy.I do like Crocs as they cover a little more but also leave room to breathe but I already have a pair.

So I'm basically looking for some slightly fashionable pairs of shoes that kind of fit the criteria:1.No suede as I can't wash the insides and need to take care of them very thoroughly. 2.Anything leather is ok as long as it's not higher quality,fragile leather 3.Anything mesh/goretex? type is ok as long as the shoe itself isn't very bulky (Something like Nike Shox is a no-go)

The pairs I have now are the faded Spezials,a pair of black Vans Uplands,the Crocs and some running Asics shoes which are just for the gym/sports.Also,here are some pairs I've had over the years which I've loved to death: Asics NYC and some Asics Gels I forgot the model of,Nike panda dunks back when they were popular,some cheap leather loafers I got two years ago which I outgrew and a pair of Vans Knu Skool.(Also,currently looking to maybe buy a pair of Wool/Brown Asics Gel-Ventx if that helps)

I hope I didn't give some insane specifications which make it seem impossible to find some good shoes.Just good looking shoes that aren't very high maintenance or high quality as I can't give them the care they deserve and nothing insanely popular (Like the Air Force 1's,I hate those things so bad)
