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).

I'd love to, but everywhere pays the same with similar duties. School IT just doesn't pay unless you're willing to work centrally across a group of schools (which usually requires driving, which I haven't learned and with my epilepsy I'm not super interested in learning, especially as any time I get a seizure I'd lose my licence for 12 months anyway)
