Hey, looking into investing into a pair or two of shoes for work. I’m in IT now but worked warehouse and restaurant jobs before this and shoes were by far the biggest qol purchase I made. My current job is pretty relaxed on “business attire” but I want some sneakers and slip ones that look professional while being comfy and will last awhile. All my past work shoes/boots have been Red Wings and that’s the standard im looking at.
truly if you’re in IT are you going to be moving around that much? I have to remind myself to stretch when i’m in the office as i’m usually sitting for hours at a time.
Some IT people work on helpdesk, or write documentation, or code, and sit for 8 hours a day. Some others build or support systems; or install cabling or servers in the data centre. There are multiple situations; IT is a wide and varied field.
fair point, all the IT guys i see are basically bolted to their desks but if you’re moving around a lot i can understand the need for good shoes.
