I wear my hiking boots. I can stand in those things all day. (Vasque is the brand, but I can't seem to find the exact pair on REI). They are plane leather, and look decent in a pair of slacks (though I only wear slacks when my jeans are dirty). Plus they'll last longer than any other business casual shoe you will ever wear.

+1 for Hiking Boots.

I wear a pair of keens most of the time. If I am standing for a long time then I switch over to a pair of over-ankle boots -- which I happen to think are Vasque brand a well -- put a layer of polish on them from time to time and they'll last for years. My pair is starting to approach a decade of use at this point.

But would hiking boots meet this dress code, if sneakers won't?

FWIW most hiking boot soles don't hold up well on pavement.
