Look into Aylla for good quality leather shoes (buy once, cry once) and I also enjoy my Freet shoes for when I want/need sporty shoes.

For the Aylla shoes I would recommend investing in some shoe trees, because the leather will wrinkle without those because the shoes are so flexible.

And for non-european: Jim Green barefoot. Bit less flexible than the Aylla’s, but amazing quality at a very reasonable price. I don’t think you can find more durable barefoot style shoes.
