If you like the style of running shoes, but for just walking, and you want something wide, I'd go for altra LP alpine. I mainly like altra cause they don't squeeze my feet like hokas (and practically every other brand) do.
Lone peak is altra's top selling trail running/hiking shoe, but they made a hemp/suede casual version that should be pretty durable.
Altra also has the a version of the Torin (a road running shoe) for casual wear that's all leather, so it's probably pretty durable, but it's a little narrower, and i don't like the styling as much.
Ive never been a "running shoe for casual wear"-person, though, so i haven't worn either of those.
For slightly nicer looking (or cold weather) casual wear, I have Jim Green boots. They are very comfortable and basically the only boot company that actually makes something that doesn't squeeze your toes. If you don't like what they have, look for other boots/shoes made with stitchdown construction. Most nicer boots/shoes use a Goodyear (or similar) welt, which wraps the upper under your foot, making it more narrow. Stitchdown has the upper flip outwards at the midsole, making it wider.
For more casual wear, I have Bedrock clogs. Also super durable/resolable and nice and wide. It doesn't have any foam underfoot, which i like, but isnt for everyone.
