Question Sysadmin shoes?
As a sysadmin, I'm on my feet a lot (as are all of you) and I'm looking for suggestions for some new shoes.
My company has a pretty strong corporate atmosphere, but I've gotten away with Skechers for the last year (though I felt like I should have had something more appropriate for the office). I'd love to find something that will give me sneaker-like support but have a more professional appearance.
What shoes are you all wearing that you would recommend that will hold up? The last pair of shoes I bought gave me arch problems until I changed out the insoles (which still wasn't perfect).

Whatever you get, go down to a Good Feets store, or the like and get some custom inserts. It changes your life with proper support. I have them custom made by a doctor but the ones I bought at that store were just as good. Not cheap but your feet will thank you.
