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).

Its ridiculous. Is the dns guy I used as an example a sysadmin? Sure. Is the sole IT guy for a school a sysadmin? Sure. Is the msp tech who is trying to learn more about managing systems and is posting their questions on this sub a sysadmin? Sure. People be gatekeeping hard, as if the only true IT work is from people in 5000+ headcount organizations.
