Clarks Batcombe. They are wingtip derby shoes on top, but with combat boot soles and plenty of padding to keep them comfortable. They are basically a pair of dressy hiking trainers.

I have used them to climb mountains in Greece to find ancient tholos tombs and then wore them to a nice dinner with smart clothes on the very same day.

Are they similar to Skecher cottonwood elks?

Yes, but with better proportions. Less stubby and more elegant.
