barefoot fashion

[Guest]

I have three women who work for me at my office, often they are running errands or ect... in their stockings feet. I have no problem with them working without their shoes on. I do ask if a customer comes into the office that they discreetly put their shoes back on, but on several occasions as they go to slip on ther shoes the customer will tell them not to bother. All three aregreat workers and very professional even if they are not wearing shoes.

Hi Simon,

Just wondering whether you are still reading this thread.

How are you getting on, it would be great to hear from you again.

Seriously, if i ran an office or any type of store, shoes would not be a requirement unless it were required by law.

I run a tea shop in a tourist area and I work bare foot year round.
Most of the girls who waitress for me have taken to working barefoot as well.
The customers seem to be quite happy with it.

Inside the teashop? I'm sure they do all the time. Dogs love tea shops.

Hi Katie,
How are you ? I am still reading this thread allthough people are making unhelpful comments.

Im still going barefoot and whenever I can at work.

It is really good to hear from you. Are you still going barefoot at work ? and have you tried going without shoes in the street ?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards

Simon.

The original question which started this forum was what to wear with barefeet.
In my opinion the answer is 'smart casual'.
Obviously formal clothes are not right when you are bare foot.
On the other hand a scruffy appearance will suggest that you are a dfown and out who can't afford footwear.
I go bare foot much of the time including at work (I'm lucky in that my job lets me) and I most certainly ma never scruffy.

Tell me what's so smart about being shoeless?

People walking without shoes, are in general:
drinking rednecks, (neo-)hippies, scump, new-age weirdos, belly dansers, and poor uneducated 3rd world people (no: I am not a rascist, I know good enough most of them are dreaming about corporate lifestyle and dreaming about stapping in thé black dress shoes).

Or to say it short:
People that I in not a billion years associate with doing business!

It's 'the corporate game'. Most people wearing now shoes (and actually no business suit at all) don't like that corporate game. That's their choice. Their right.

But I you chose to play the corporate game, then you have to follow its rules.
I have Corporate friens that are actually Gothic or Metal in their spare time. (Me myself, I actually like wave and some good dark rockmusic as well). Do you think they enter their office wearing their dracula-grimm, pvc boots or bandshirts?

They wear standarg, general accepted business attire. And they change back to their ordinary clothes wenn business is done. (Myself, I always keep the dark suit on; I like wearing it )

It's fine to me if you come home, strip off your dress shoes and peel your business socks off. Then it's your spare time and are free to do and wear whatever you want.

But doing business: follow the corporate rules and keep your shoes on.
Otherwise, you just should not had enter this corporate game.

Thank you for banding me with 'drinking rednecks, (neo-)hippies, scump, new-age weirdos, belly dansers, and poor uneducated 3rd world people' none of which I am.
I am employed in a well paying job thank you very much but I don't work in an office and don't consider myself as in the 'corporate game' whatever that may be.
You don't have to do business with me in my bare feet and with your attitude I certainly don't want to do business with you. My accountant has no rpoblem with my bare feet hes is more concerned that I pay him promptly for his services.
