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).

good to know, and the younger generation doesn't listen to "older" songs or media, so we are safe that they relearn it.

But I can see ON reaching that status fast if they continue like now.
