I've taken a job at a software company and the uniform seems to be polo shirts and khakis, I'm guessin nice jeans woud also be ok. I have dress shoes and i have athletic shoes. I'm thinking i need something in between.

Look at Johnston and Murphy. Love all I've ever had. Look good with jeans as well.
A good pair of Derby shoes, in either full grain or suede leather, will look fantastic with a casual outfit. There are many great brands to consider, depending on tastes and budget. I really like the Italian Velasca Derbies, especially those with Vibram rubber soles.
Yes. Vibram lasts a good long while too.
I got the Velasca "Bergamin" model last year and couldn't be happier!
Mephisto loafers... Super comfortable and look good jeans. Congrats on the new gig.
Clark desert boots. Great with jeans, great with khakis. Super comfortable.
Congratulations on the new job! Some great suggestions in this thread.
Personally, I like Allen Edmonds and Red Wing which both have some options that may work out.

Very nice shoes, Marco.
There are really a great deal of choices depending on how much you want to spend and how much time you'll be on your feet.
Johnson & Murphy and Ecco have lots of bang for your buck models. AE and Alden have quite a few slightly more up-scale casual choices if you're looking for longevity. My preference is for something without a high shine for jeans or golf pants, errr . . . khakis.

It depends on the cut of your trousers/jeans. With a slimmer, more tapered cut, I really like boat shoes These are my current pair; Allen Edmonds in tan Chromexel:
With a straight leg or more traditional cut, I'd go for a pair of brown Derbys. They're more substantial and will look more balanced than boat shoes. Mine after a fresh polish:

I wear running/athletic shoes with jeans and a button down. We have a super-computer in the building so it stays fairly cold. I find that athletic shoes are slightly warmer
There are a lot of great suggestions in this thread!
From my personal experience, I second the suggestion of Mephisto loafers or something from Ecco. Both are excellent.

Allen Edmonds penny loafers or Chelsea Boot depending on the weather.
Oh how I miss the seventies, when software developers all wore vibram soled mountain boots and flannel shirts.
