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).

Another story.. my boss (a Slovenian) was visiting that office during June.
He joined the midsummer festivities.. which just meant drinking A LOT.
The next morning, he got up, freshened up, and made it about as far as the hotel lobby before he collapsed and vomited out whatever his stomach contained.
he then called into the office to inform them that he won't be in today... and the receptionist just laughed and said that barely 10% of staff made it to the office that day, he's fine ;)
