This shoe is great for the workplace and casual wear. It is lightweight and slip resistant which is a plus for my job. When buying, the shoe tends to run big so when you order go 1/2 size smaller than normal. The conrad is also similar to the ashford in the timberland pro if you are not a fan of the lines going down the shoe. It is very difficult for me to find a shoe that could be used for dress and casual wear due to the size I need.
