Didn't see the contemporary fashion criterion in your OP, sorry.

Yes,They look alright for men over 80.
Have you heard of Blacks? They have nice fashionable mens walking shoes for your price range.

I do a fair bit of walking. And pretty much constantly suffer with feet / toe issues. More so if I repeat more than 3 or 4 times a week.
All my walking is ‘brisk’ for keep-fit. **And not running as I’m aware of needing to preserve ageing joints. My pace is anywhere from 11-14 min miles / average of 52-54 minutes for my 4 and a bit mile loop. And always on Tarmac.
Not even sure if I should be wearing stout’ish walking / hiking shoes, generic but decent quality trainers or ‘specialist’ running shoes with plenty of cushioning.
Any thoughts ? Welcomed ! 🤷♂️
Have a look in Decathlon - there's bound to be something that suits.
Somewhere in between, going by my own experiences. A walking boot that's too firm jars your joints and heels on tarmac / concrete, but a full-on running shoe is designed for a completely different set of dynamics / loads.
My litmus test for a good all-round walking shoe is whether I can drive in them - soles soft enough to feel the pedals, but not so flexible that my feet ache after walking several miles.
I have a rather nice pair of Merells that I picked up in Decathlon that do the trick. The "proper" walking boots I bought in Mountain Warehouse are horrible on hard surfaces, but great on grass and mud, so have been relegated to my weekly walks with a friend and her dogs.
