Shoe recommendations

I have a lot of tennis/running shoes i like, but get hair stuck all over them. And I have boots for winter months which work great. Just don't want them for summer. But I'm looking for good tennis/running shoes that are not only good for standing all day but also look sharp and won't get hair stuck everywhere.

The closest I've found that work is some Air Max with the plastic shoelace inserts, instead of regular laces. Just wondering if there is anything else you guys know of.

I usually cut in 3 different shoes. Hokas, doc marten boots, and Jordan 3s

Any of those help with hair stuck on them?

Hair is gonna stick to everything in my experience, but I feel like the doc martens are best for that reason

I already have several pair of Redwing and 1000 Miles. So I am good in the boots department. Looking for tennis/running shoes.

Not a running shoe but I’ve seen a lot of barbers / stylists wear Blundstones or Chelsea boots in general

Don’t know why but my Lems Boulders boots never have hair on them.

Running shoes are for running; get some Hokas

Yeah, all of my boots are great for hair. So I'm fine I that department. Was looking for more stylish athletic shoes.

Don’t go style over substance. Many say to get nicer dress shoes ; they’re more comfortable and look good , not for me. Not a dress shoe type
