how much foot can you show at work?

[bab]

None at all?

Peep toe?

Sandal?

All out flip flop?


I'm just curious.  I work in a somewhat casual environment but we are not allowed to wear flip flops.  I wouldn't really want to though considering some of the places I go.  What kinds of shoes do you wear to work in the summer?

[balletofangels]

I'm a teacher and pretty much anything as long as it is deemed "safe." They are much more concerned in the winter after two coworkers have gotten compound fractures from slipping on ice.

None. I wear sneakers or danskos every day. 

[Deleted]

open toe is okay, d'orsay is okay. "sandals" are not.

[PennyCandy]

None, but I'm in healthcare.

[toepick]

Everything but flip flops, mainly due to the noise!

[girlfriday11]

I wear flip flops most days from May-Sept.

[papie]

I could go barefoot if I wanted.

[discogranny]

Our rule is that anything goes but flip-flops must be $10+, or at least look like it. No $3.50 Old Navy rubber flip flops or similar.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

We can wear anything besides "cheap Old Navy" flip flops.

LOL

Pretty much anything goes. Take a look at today's OOTD.

[lilibet]

I think officially the dress code says sandals are ok but no flip flops but last year they said "fancy" flip flops were ok but most people (even managers) wear your basic old navy type flip flops.

Though there's a number of people (again including a manager) that walk around the office barefoot during the warmer days.

Anything short of a flip-flop is acceptable.  Even "nice" flip-flops (like leather with a heel) are ok.  It's more about the look than the actual categorization.

Like people wear stuff like this.  No problem.


I wear the same shoes all year long.  I wear peep-toes in the dead of winter.  LOL.

[CurlyQ284]

They don't have rules but my boss gives us crap if we wear flip flops unless they are bedazzled or something. Strangely, one lady wears house slippers but she has a different manager.

[Bonita]

None - the environment is too hazardous. We have to wear "sturdy" shoes - no flip flops, no crocs, no shoes without a heel, cannot wear high heels or any shoe with a heel that has less than a 2" walking surface.

Kind of takes the fun out of dressing up nicely, but usually I'm okay with it

[PeonyParty]

We can wear any sandal as long as there is nothing in between toes and it has a strap around the heel. So no flip flops/thongs.

[sarahswim]

We can wear anything short of flip-flops, which is fine, but the rationale behind it bothers me. My principal claims we can't wear flip-flops because our students aren't allowed to wear them, which is BS, in my opinion.
If that's the rule, then say, "Teachers don't wear flip flops because it's unprofessional.", not "Teachers don't wear flip-flops because the K-6th graders you teach see you & think it's not fair." There's a very long list of things I can do that my 6th graders cannot.

I have to ask- what field do you work in?

[taffy]

None really. In the airport I have to wear a 2 inch heel, on the airplane I can wear 1/2 inch. Ask me if I comply.

If they were fancy ones, maybe.

This is my office. As long as they are fancy flip flops. 

Us too, I'm a teacher. We live in Yellow Box flip flops from now until September.

[hisno1girl]

I could probably wear this and no one would care (except for days when we have special events)

[Deleted]

None. Wood shops + sandals don't mix. If I wear them on my commute I change into sneakers or boots once I get to the office.

[alicenelson]

I can get away with dressy flipflops at the most casual of footware, but the flapping sound when walking usually annoys me. I generally opt for strappy heels in the summer--usually a wedge.

[Kit]

Anything but flip flops are acceptable.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I'd go barefoot if my floor wasnt disgusting

[pollyprissypants]

We can wear pretty much anything but casual flip flops like Old Navy sandals. I wear Clarks flip flops to work almost everyday in the summer.

Most of the time if there are no clients in the office the girls will just run around without any shoes on. I work for an insurance agency and our office is a house that was turned into an office so it is pretty laid back.

[DotAndBuzz]

We had to have our whole foot covered. No crocs w/ holes, or even clogs. They were lenient about the clogs if they were totally closed toe, but they were cracking down on crocs when I left. I can't blame them, I mean, hospitals are gross with sharps and fluids everywhere. I wouldn't want that falling through a HOLE in my shoe. Blech.

Now, I DO WHAT I WANT! heh.

[sherbanator]

We can wear whatever we want.

[Deleted]

We can wear anything but flip flops. Even if they are "fancy" flip flops we cannot wear them.
