Hey y'all! I recently got a really bad sprain in the ball of my foot and am just now prepping to go back to work, but I don't have any orthopedist approved work shoes and was wondering if y'all have any recommendations.

I work in a prison and am on my feet 8 hours a day, either walking around the campus or standing for an hour+ at a time doing classes.

All of my knowledge of how meetings like that run came from movies/TV and I was under the impression that it would be a strictly professional environment; my experience has been very different.

I'm on one team that's 50/50 Gen X/Gen Z and more often than not, when asked for official assessments, us younger folk will say something along the lines of "bro is straight up crashing out right now." The older team members aren't as relaxed with their language, but will still use slang in meetings.
