No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Dr Martens make a good range of comfortable good looking shoes. They’re also available under the Air Wair (yes that is spelt right) name.
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.
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.
I've been wearing them for about 20 years. Back then one pair would last me 2/3 years of daily use, they'd start looking funky after a year or so but all the stitches would hold, they wouldn't get holes, etc etc. 4 to 7 years ago they probably lasted less than a year already, and now it's 6 months before the sole starts separating. Probably the effects of continually optimizing costs and using lower grade materials and processes.
I like Sketchers work shoes. Very comfortable and long lasting
I’ve gone through multiple pairs of Brook’s Adrenalines and they’ve always been super comfortable and nice looking with some solid color choices. Only problem is some pairs have gotten beat up pretty quick but I also wear them everyday so that’s probably a me thing.
I mostly wear hokas and brooks. My husband likes ONs, but says they're better for waking than standing. Dansko is good too.
I’ve had these for like 3 years now. They last practically forever, just replace the soles.

Once they break in, they are super comfortable
Sorry, just saw you said red wings in the past. My bad
I keep a pair of Vionic shoes in my drawer at work. I usually wear boots when I’m on my motorcycle but will change into my Vionics while at work.
I swear by Doc Martens.
They're painful at first but once you break them in they are incredibly comfy and last years. I've had my shoes for a decade now without issues. They've been with me from my first customer service job, all the way through college and into my current desk job.
It's about time for a new pair but these guys have seen it all.
