Holy shit! An on-topic post

That being said, they are nice shoes.
This reminds me. I was just put on a shoe sub-committee to hash out such matters for our office dress code. The existing policy reads: "Shoes are to be closed toed with back support." There was a lot of bitching about it, and now it's up to be reviewed. I guess it was decided that since I routinely break the policy, I should be tortured with rewriting it.

The biggest issue is "open toed shoes" and whether or not sandals can be considered work appropriate. There is apparently a lot of confusion as to what constituted a sandal. Fortunately, the sub-committee is packed with like-minded individuals who feel strongly that there is such a thing as a work-appropriate sandal. Especially given that we work in Houston, Texas and it gets fucking hot as hell here. The "can slides and mules be work appropriate" question fortunately has been resolved (yes you can wear them, but be mindful of noise). I am not sure if hose/stockings are in the jurisdiction of the sub-committee.
