Which one do you guys prefer? It's just for casual dress, but my closet involves a lot of preppy dress shirts. I don't know, I have the hardest time picking out shoes because dress shoes go best with my wardrobe, but I'm not going to be wearing dress shoes every single day.

I like the brown pair; bit more funkier... although I wouldn't wear them myself. Depends on what the rest of your wardrobe is like.

If I had to pick one to wear, I'd go with the black. Simple, stylish and black goes with everything. Well, most things.

Neither...

If you really want casual shoes, can't you get a pair of Merrels or DKNYs that look a little less 'sneaker-like'

I got mine at REI for $90. And trust me, they're not the same as Adidas.

I'd go to you local mall and look at some Pumas or Diesels if I were you. I'm, not diggin' either pair.

Personally, I don't wear shoes that I have to bend over or sit down to put on. They're too much work. Clogs and Sandals forever 😀

The brown out of the two... the black are too simplistic my tastes. In fact they remind me of a cheap pair of gym shoes.
Like Capt Underpants says, Puma or Diesel are the way to go. Puma, IMHO, have the best fashion trainer range out. I own far too many (4) and get tempted by more every week it seems.
Fav trainers evar: Puma Car Drivers.

The brown look better by themselves. The black would match more outfits.

If it's between those two I'd choose the brown.

Personally though the only sneakers I wear are Onitsuka Tigers. http://www.asicsamerica.com/onitsukatiger/products/shoes/mens_shoes.asp
