It's been a while since I bought new work shoes and I don't want to waste time shopping and trying several pairs on. Also, I am very happy with 2 pairs of the same exact style and am looking to spend $150 per pair or less. I am looking forward to your recomendations. Thanks in advance.

P.S. You should advise your readers to get the nookie before watching the girly movies so that they can fall asleep once it starts.
I'll take that as a compliment considering women make up more than half the population. By your reasoning I must be pretty smart

Considering that a lot of the time spent buying shoes is finding the proper fit, if the Rockports fit well and you like the style/value I'd go there as a first option if your primary requirement is as little shopping as possible.

Ecco makes a very comfortable and durable shoe at the upper end of your price range and I've always liked their style. But they do have that Euro comfort shoe look...

There are really a lot of options in the moc toe style, I won't bother posting suggestions as our preferences might not be the same.

Online you can't beat the shops with free shipping both ways (like Zappos) although they don't offer the best prices. Sierratradingpost.com has incredible deals (search for a coupon) but the selection is hit or miss.

Locally I'd say DSW offers the best selection/price in casual shoes and usually have a good offering of both brands mentioned above.
