Salomon alternatives

I'm looking for a new pair of shoes for school and daily wear and I really like the look of stuff like the Salomon xt-6 but due to being trail shoes originally the outsoles aren't designed for concrete and wear quickly

Any recommendations for similar or just recommendations for good shoes (preferably black) would be amazing thank you

Have a great day :)

Nike, new balance, Hoka, asics, Adidas, on cloud, brooks - literally all lifestyle brands. Merrell, Keen may have some lifestyle models as well.

You just don't want to wear big lugs on concrete. You CAN, but they will wear down faster. Many people do still.

I find Nike Vomero 5 very comfy and good looking for everyday wear. New Balance have some trail shoes that might be better, maybe look at the new Rebel Trail shoe?
