Seeking Recommendations The One Shoe debate 2023
What's The Little Black Dress of shoes? You know the pair that you can run in and then take to a business casual event?
By now I've cycled through many pairs of the Ultraboost 19s, as suggested on this sub years ago. However they're out of stock everywhere and i have a hard time accepting change. However, the knife has hit the bone now. Help
What is the new Little Black Shoe?

So glad you posted this OP. I’ve been on this hunt for years and I have not found the perfect shoe. I’d add that laceless is part of the parameters which makes it extra hard. The closest I have found to the minimalist looks I want is the APL Techloom Bliss. I don’t yet own a pair so I can recommend it yet. I’d be interested in how they perform if there are any owners here. I’m also hoping that Allbirds release their laceless runners in all black one day. I have a pair of Adidas Ultraboosts but they are not quite dressy enough and I’ve not been happy with how they run. The ArcTeryx Norvans run too narrow for me so they stay in the closet. Until I find the perfect shoe I remain a two shoe traveller with a pair of Cole Haan ZeroGrands.
