EDC footwear reccomendation please

[Lightspeed]

Vibram soled walking boots most of the time.

I've never owned steelies, but can see the advantage. So long as they are comfortable for long hikes.

But sometimes I cannot get away from normal business type shoes, in which case I go with the stoutest pair viable in any situation. General rule of thumb is that I need to be able to either make it back to the car in them ( where boots are kept), or that they are good on their own for 20 miles.
