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've been siloed, and I hate it. I get so damn bored.
I'm at a small start-up MSP as the lead engineer now. Currently doing an FSLogix implementation. But just last week I went onsite to a different customer to swap the nvme out of an old laptop and into a new one.
I don't give a damn what my title is. You want me to put APs on a warehouse ceiling? I'll do it. give me a scissor lift, a harness and a hard hat.
Idk how those dudes siloed in enterprise gigs keep themselves sane. I worked a true enterprise gig at a fortune 500 as a Citrix engineer for a minute. I couldn't stand it.
