Do these shoes exist? If so, please help me find them.

I'd really like to have a pair of plain black, suede shoes that look super casual. How casual? I don't mean dress-casual... I mean sneakers casual. For example, look at these shoes. Just your normal, black, plain Vans.

I'd freaking LOVE shoes similar to this, but with leather soles. I've been looking for a couple months now

Help me ATOT, you're my only hope.

Leather soled sneaker-style? No wonder you've been looking for months. I doubt they have such things. Unless you have examples, I've never seen a Vans-styled sneaker with leather soles.

oops brain fart

Wait, if I remember correctly, Gucci makes a sneaker that is, I think, leather soled. But the quality of their shoes isn't as good as you'd expect. At least their dress shoes aren't, I'm not sure about their sneakers.

Yeah seriously, the first time you wear leather soles outside the house they're going to be all torn up anyway.

Go to a shoe repair place and tell them you want leather soles put on. Problem solved.

^^ Well if you must know...

Leather soled shoes feel GREAT when playing drums, but they're not casual enough AT ALL. Also, I'd like something super casual that I could go swing dancing in.

rubber bottom but has amazing feel as it is very thin, suede as well.

When swing dancing I like to wear regular leather upper shoes with rubber soles. I just put some moleskin on the bottom - it makes the feel pretty close to leather/suede soles. You're not going to find sneaker-like shoes with leather soles. If you really want shoes like those Vans, give moleskin a try. It's cheap and you can take it off.

A girl I know that does lindy hop competitions prefers to wear sneakers with duct tape on the bottom. You can play around with materials like that.

Otherwise, the best thing to do is take shoes to a cobbler and have him replace the soles with leather. I don't think they'll be able to do that with the Vans you've shown though.
