Airport and Foot Friendly Trade Show Shoes?
Milo_Mindbender asks: "Where the heck can you find shoes that let you handle the ten or more hours a day of continuous walking computer trade shows require and won't set off the airport metal detectors? I used to go for hiking boots, but can't find a pair that don't buzz, even after I've stripped off every other particle of metal. I'm getting tired of trial and error (and blisters/sore feet when I go to CES, SIGGRAPH...etc). Does anyone have any suggestions?"
- I'm tired of getting wet when it rains. Are there any lightweight, collapsible devices available to keep the rain off?
- My car has run out of petrol/gas. Where can I buy more?
- My cat is hungry. What food is available for cats? How much is it?
- My clothes smell. Wouldn't it be great if there was somewhere I could take them where washing machines could be used for a small fee?
Stay tuned folks...
If you can't handle 10 hours at a trade show in any old pair of shoes, I suspect your proplem is in your mouth, not on your feet. Step away from the twinkies.
Hiking boots? Hiking boots are made to be warm, waterproof, rock proof, grippy, and prevent ankle sprains. 'Comfortable' is way down on the list of features.
God, I can just see you, this big fat guy wearing hiking boots at a trade show. Now I know why this is news for nerds.
Worst. Dessert. Ever.
I'd be wary of shoe advice from a guy whose username is legless...
