I'm DESPERATE for a pair of shoes I can wear hiking, walking & camping, but that could also pass as 'every day shoes'. I'm off to New Zealand in July where I'll be doing a lot of hikes and walks, but I also need some new shoes for work where I average around 15k steps per shift. Comfort is most important, but I'd really like it if I could wear the shoes with jorts or jeans too - so ideally no runners or anything too chunky! I've had my eyes on the Salomon XT-6's for a few months but keep second guessing myself as they are $300AUD. Are they really worth it? Has anyone tried the Asics Gel shoes? Eg. Gel-resolution 5's or Gel-venture 6's? I'm not overly concerned with price as I know I'll be wearing them essentially every day. I'm Australian if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

Something I can wear to work (not an office job but always on my feet) but also camping, hiking, gym, etc. I've had my eye on the Salomon XT-6's for a few months now but I keep second guessing myself as they are $300 AUD. Besides comfort, my only other criteria is something I could wear with jeans or jorts if needed - so ideally no runners. Has anyone tried the any of the Asics Gel shoes? Eg.
