Check out ethical shoes over here. You can filter them to your liking.

About Sketchers, they're ass, their memory foam sucks, and also pollutes this world. Puma is good; I've had their shoes, but I'll not be buying from them anymore because of their involvement in Pissrael.

Huh solid rec thanks! Puma were my main shoes as a kid those things could take a lot of punishment

I still like Pumas, but I stopped wearing them because of the BDS boycott

Fuck. I loved pumas for running. I was going to pick up a new pair this week... What now?

Lotto is an affordable Italian brand, you can check them out. Not sure if they're sold in the US. There's also Fila, but they're kinda on the extremes of "meh" to "uncomfortable biker shoes" range. There's also Asics, which is a Japanese brand, but they're probably not sold in your area. Sparx, Campus, Woodland and Red Tape are Indian brands - excluding Woodland, none of them probably sells internationally.

I'm currently in China and will be in Japan in three weeks. I'll keep an eye out for Asics
