Good office shoes? I work in a office, I have been told my foot wear is "too casual"?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

In some of my facilities, I have established a dress code wherein revealing clothing isn't allowed. Additionally, casual footwear spoils the professional aura we're trying to project but there's nothing written about that in the office guidelines which, therefor, makes it "okay" to wear casual footwear. Anyway, what type of business do you work for?

[ChrisMaster69]

It really depends where you work and job type etc.

i have a smart casual approach with my teams, yeah managers need to dress accordingly, however the rest I want comfortable so they work harder.

zero problems with trainers, boots, those converse, sandals in summer usually.

Far to much emphasis put on how a person looks versus their work attitude and how much work they do.

[Jaximus-Lion]

What kind of office do you work at?
Do they have a dress code?
To keep it formal at an office! I reccomend leather loafers (not necessarily real leather)

Have your sneakers at work to change to when you finish.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Flats are a good go to, I see women working in offices always wear them lol.

[RedStiletto88]

Tennis shoes and sneakers are not office shoes. Flats or low heeled shoes are appropriate office wear. Most companies have a dress code that is helpful if there are questions.

[tinamccoll]

sandals aren't sneakers

[RedStiletto88]

Okay well most office dress codes might not allow sandals either but it depends but before wearing sandals (definitely never flip flops omfg) I would see what other women in the office are wearing. If no one is wearing sandals it’s probably not a good idea

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Obviously these are too casual for an office. It should be common knowledge. Sandals are for the beach and white converse sneakers are something you'd wear to the mall.

[Flower7]

Neither one of those is suitable for office work. Try flats and make sure they have closed-toes.

[tinamccoll]

my boss says those sansdals are chavy, I dont get how they aren't okay for work.

[Flower7]

ALL sandals are inappropriate for an office environment unless the dress code states otherwise. Having toes showing is generally perceived as unprofessional. That’s because it’s overly casual, like beachwear.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

@tinamccoll Typical young female. Girls these days don't understand standard dress code rules. They just want to wear whatever they want.

[Razp_Sorbet]

So stupid. Try some boots or something like this to get the same comfort as a sneakerhttps://www. hannahs. co. nz/content/products/chava-hp-black-black-image01-vba437120. jpg? width=1290

[pleasestopthis]

Yes, too casual for office. It's not necessary to wear high heels, but sandals are not appropriate. Loafers, ballerina shoes, and oxford shoes would be good example for flat shoes appropriate for the office.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

get yourself some nice ankle boots, just as comfy but way more appropriate for the office

[exitseven]

I guess it depends on the office. I used to keep a pair of high top sneakers in my office and wore them in the winter if I wore boots to work. Thy were more like air Jordans than Cons.

[lovedejj_xo]

I wear uggs, riding boots, or sneakers it’s winter right now. But I work at a school I get to be casual I’ve seen teachers in yogas/leggings …. a little too inappropriate for my taste with children but whatever.

[KatherineJ]

Get some flats, and if you like a heel, some pumps. But I don’t know any office environment where the ones you showed would be acceptable.

[sheikalana]

converse are a bit too casual for an office job unless there’s a casual dress code at your office. I would opt for stylish brogues or moccasins.

[Bekaaaaaaaahhhh]

Maybe try Chelsea boots or leather/suede ballerina flats in black

[bigbluey]

The converse look good but not the Sandra for the office

[awkward_author]

It's definitely too casual for office work. You might want to wear shoes that are more professional than that.

[annabananna]

Both of the pictures you showed are too casual for office wear.

[AndrésC64]

No kidding. Who would think that that is appropriate for an office?

[Swordnen]

the second one will kill you.
The first is not formal too.

[horatiohornblower]

Flats or moderate height, closed toe heels.

[tinamccoll]

they are sandals, they are flat

[horatiohornblower]

When people say flats. They’re talking about a type of dress shoe for women. With a closed toe. Generally shiny and made of leather.

[tinamccoll]

my boss say those sandals are chavy? How is that the case, theya re flats

[horatiohornblower]

While sandals are flat they are not flats. Typically sandals are open toe. Flats typically are closed toe. No point arguing about it. If the boss says it isn’t appropriate. You conform or lose your job.

[OlderAndWiser]

That would be too casual in my office.

[slatyb]

Maybe just get closed shoes that aren’t canvas?

[RebeccaBI2000]

I always had on heels or flats.

[Massageman]

I would likely agree.

[Wise4myage]

Then just follow the dress code, or ask to see it.

[libbieberry]

Some Flat Black Shoes

[clampfan101]

I like casual shoes on girls.

[Gal67]

That's far too casual for an office.

[Deserter]

Just get black sneakers that aren't Chucks

[LegendaryIcon]

by who? who's telling you this

[Luckycharms12]

Pretty casual look. But think look nice

[Cringe]

Flats

[Gwenhwyfar]

[mrjiffy]

How about some nice shoes you can shine

[Yellovv]
