What kind of shoes would a hitman wear?

I'd say that it would depend on the job. A quiet pair for stealthy jobs, boots too perhaps, and some kind of dressy/nice looking shoe with steel toes. And steel-toed sneakers for anything else. The latter would probably be the best if you can only have one pair of shoes with you. Good traction, decent looks, and some degree of toe protection.

Wal-Mart specials - since everyone buys them and you're going to dispose of them afterwards.
Being a hitman should pay pretty well, so you could afford to throw away pricier shoes.
 
Something mass produced. Obviously, if you are going to commit any crime you want to wear something as mass produced and hard to trace as possible.

Only if pricier shoes offered any advantage to the hit. Only morons spend more money than they have to simply because they have more money to spend.

That would be like using a Lamborghini as a getaway vechicle.
 
Generic, soft-soled, patent-leather dress shoes. Comfortable enough to run in if need be, quiet enough to keep you stealthy, and they can go with casual or buisness attire if you dress right.

Ninja shoes!
Aka cloth slippers?
They are lightweight... they are quiet when you're in stealth mode... best of all, they are cheap!

What if it's wet outside? Do you have to put on those plastic shoe covers?

I think they added straw bottoms called waraji when outside. Most people going for the ninja look nowadays just grab jikatabi, with rubber soles on the bottom, though.
 
He would wear dance shoes.

:music:Watch out for the Hitman

Here we go back to a groove, back and forth to make you move
Get up to the funky music on the dance floor and just swing it
Tonight's the night for you to let it hang out
You get funky while I get the house
Now I know that you got soul, there it is, put the ace in the hole
Feel the vibe while the rhythm control you, I command you to get loose
Yeah, I know you like my style, grab a girl and get buck wild
Show me what you got while the noise is pumpin'
The DJ's spinnin', the crowd is jumpin'
Turn up the music and let's motivate
Do that thing until your body starts to break

Watch out for the hitman:music:
