I don't totally disagree with [MENTION=326413]darth[/MENTION]Lefty, during my years biking to an office (I moved to a home office), I tried an number of different options. I know you said you don't like the Chrome Kursk looks, but that was my bike/office shoes for a couple years and I liked it. Also, I have a pair very old Shimano MTB shoes I can wear comfortably all day. But most bike shoes have a stiff sole making them less then comfortable to walk. That said, my job is a desk job with little walking, so I could live with that compromise. However, rainy days still require a dry pair of shoes when you get to the office. This brings us back to the solution I used until the end of my office-day: one pair of office shoes stored in my file cabinet. If you have a place at work to store a pair of shoes, I'd call this the best solution.
