Or two.
I know this isn't a shoe place, store, shoeria, or website, but I trust you guys/girls with your judgement. I'm sure most of you have every day jobs that keep your auto passions alive. So I'm coming to you for help!
I need a new set of sneakers with specific set of requirements. Here they are:
I do tech support so nothing super sporty as we have a decent dress code.
I walk a lot.
I fly enough to want a shoe that's easy to take off.
And I want it to last more than a year, if possible.
Last, I'd love to wear them in the winter and not slip on the road slush in the parking lot.
Have at it and thank you!

Shop around for these a bit, and you'll find a good deal on them: Cole Haan Air Stylar's .
Cole Haan is Nike's dress shoe brand, and all of their soles/padding is designed by Nike. They're great for traveling because they're slip-ons, and they have a rubber sole. They are far and away the most comfortable dress shoe I have ever worn.

I like it. Thanks! Maybe a little too dressy for me, but I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks! Those actually look really great. Are they comfortable with a lot of walking?

Also, good for driving is always a plus.

I've really really enjoyed Clark's Un line (pictured is the Un.Bend )
ETA: I work tech support, and wear them when I need to be formal (onsite, or when I'm working directly with customers) and when I dress down with jeans.

They were originally designed for soccer players, so they're pretty unbeatable for walking.
Trust me, you won't regret them!

Thank you! I really like these. They seem fit for the job. Hopefully they are good in snow?

They look nice, but I've had bad experiences with suede and snow.

I live in AZ, so I literally have NO idea. My guess is that this exact model doesn't (because it has a series of airways crisscrossed through the sole and into the shoe), but some of the other models don't have this. It's more comfortable than my running shoes though.

I like these because they fit your criteria: Nothing super sporty, easy to take off, last for more than a year, wear them in winter and I walk a lot because the shoes are on an MGB.

China. A friend who recommended them to me mentioned his lasted him a good 2-3 years of frequent use.
