This is a two-fold inquiry:

1) Everyday shoes. I don't feel like I have a nice go-to pair of shoes for running errands or looking decent (albeit casual) in public. In the winter I pretty much exclusively wear boots, but outside of cold weather I don't really have a pair of shoes that I feel are both comfortable *and* look nice enough with a pair of jeans that I could go grab lunch or coffee with a friend. I'm open to any and all suggestions here.

2) Outdoorsy/Traveling shoes. We're going to the PNW in May and spending most of that time outdoors. Four days at my uncle and aunts farm in the Cascades, then horseback riding, then going out on a boat to spot whales. I am planning to bring my XTRATUF deck boots as my alternate option for wet days and/or kicking around the farm, but I'm not sure what to bring that would be good for walking around the airport, around town, and possibly some light hiking

Reeeaaally hoping to not need more than two pairs of shoes (one to wear, one to pack) so maybe an outdoorsy option that isn't a full-on hiking boot? Any brand suggestions here would be very welcomed!
