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.
I’ve been wearing Vans for years but they’re pretty much disposable these days, after 6 months they wear down to uselessness. If anyone has recommendations for alternatives in the same style I’m all ears.
Was just about to recommend Vans. In other post I’ve shown my past collection of them and praising how durable they were even after me abusing them.
That was 7-4 years ago, I still have 2 pairs of them in good condition, someone else has the remaining. Maybe they make them different now. “Enshittification” I guess. I’ve hiked, skated, partied in them and wore them casually as well.
