Preferably realistic features, but if your perfect shoe involves some kinda anti-grav hover features, I’d absolutely understand.
Heelies? Pfft, check out my real hover-slides.
The ability for them to easily be repaired and recycled unlike the throw away shoes companies make now.
100% dirt and water repellant. Just stay clean and dry all the time.
I want the sneakers David Alan Grier invented at the beginning of Jumanji.

So like leather barefoot shoes? Those exist.
Do they look appropriate for semiformap occasions, though?
I searched for “leather barefoot shoes” and found several. Example
-
Something breathable like canvas but it is more durable than leather. The soles are as tough as possible while staying flexible enough to accommodate squatting. The soles are designed to be replaced multiple times without damaging the rest of the shoes.
It would have a composite protective toe, few to no seams, and laces that can snug it up to your foot if you tug them and hook them, but the shoes would stay on if you don’t do anything to the laces. Like, they just wouldn’t be as supportive without snugging them up.
It would have aggressive arch supports, or else come with several different inserts for different arch support needs.
Also, very wide toe box designed around normal toes, not squashing toes into a narrow or unnaturally shaped space.
Steel radial truck-tyre soles. Sick of wearing through them in a few months.
Fits my weird-shaped feet (wide fitting, deep through the instep).
Uppers squashy enough not to destroy my feet after an all-day hike, but hard-wearing enough not to fall apart.
Boots with wide toe box, flexible leather, durable sole. Lems Boulder Boots basically. I should buy a pair already, they’ve been on my wishlist since forever. Thanks for reminding me
