Sounds a bit weird to say or type lol, but looking for some tactical sneakers.  All black which some serious treads.  (maybe even anti-slip?)

Hoping for something high quality that will last.

Anti-microbial would be nice to help keep smells away.

Isn't there some type of "fast laces" that are always tied or something?

What brands & options are out there?  Remember I want quality.  And something really comfortable as they will be worn daily.  (I'm used to Reebok Californiums & they are very light & really comfortable)

Thanks.

I'm not much help in this area, for me its either 6" boots, or flipflops.

Interesting. I'm looking for some too. Not a fluorescent green/orange marathon shoe and not low-cut hikers.

Merrell's.... It's what I rock and run!

I use to get Merrels but Keen holds up much better and look a lot better too IMO.

Salomon
Haix
When I think of "tactical" sneakers I think of those two shoes.  I have a pair of the Salomons and love them, very comfy and will last years.  My buddy has the Haix and he has nothing but praise for them also.  BTW that's retail on the Salomons, you can find them lots cheaper on other websites.

Not tactical but, I used to wear New Balance 621's in the summer working the PJ's.  Brooks also makes several of their running shoes in all black.

They come in 8", 6" and I think even regular shoes,  Water proof or not with saftey toes or without and are super comfy.  My only complaint is the sole life.  I get about a year out of mine but I walk like a tard so the out side of my heel gets ground down.

Merrel Chameleon 4 Stretch.
Fits your description to a tee.
Anti-microbial, Vibram sole with aggressive tread, bungee laces with a quick slide adjustment.

And possibly the most comfortable out of the box shoes I've ever worn. Absolutely no break in necessary on mine.

Salomon is the correct answer. I wear them daily.

My own experience with these boots was different. These were hands down the worst boots I had put on my feet. Bulky enough to be moon boots and hot as hell. Literally fell apart in a few months.

I really like the flat black, plain look of the Inov8 Roclite 295 Tacticals - but they don't seem to have a gortex liner or any thing anti-microbial on the inside.

The Haix Black Eagles seem to have both of them though and are pretty good looking.

I love neoprene & lycra & that seems to be what the Merrill's internals are made out of & that sounds great, but I'm just not sure how durable that will be long term.

So basically I don't know what to do lol.

Get some trail shoes if you want something with good grip. Merrell, Brooks, or New Balance. They have some not so bright color options.
