Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One of the great advantages of being a librarian is that Danskos are appropriate in pretty much every situation.
ION, looking at some photos of men I knew in college on Facebook, so many of them have that fat neck thing going on. My husband kinda has it too. Is this an inevitable part of being a 40-year old man? mr. flea isn't fat, though he could stand to be more fit. But the neck bloat. What is that about?
I love no hose! But not with pumps. Just sandals. I wonder if sandals are OK. It seems like a pretty well-dressed office.
Jesse, I have several pairs of sneaker-y shoes that look perfectly respectable with skirts and dresses that are also comfortable enough for my 50 minute walk home. Like this: [link] Or this: [link]
I highly recommend Softwalk loafers for commuting shoes. Also the Reebok/Puma/whatnot lifestyle type shoes. The perfect ones for me were the Reebok Nautical Mile style (now discontinued), lower profile than sneakers, but super comfy.
I don't feel right wearing a dress or skirt without tights or nylons. I will every once in a while if I am wearing tall boots, but not very often, because it just feels off.
I'm glad it's not just me. People in my office seem to think it's weird that I almost always wear hose.
I wear pants almost exclusively in the winter because tights/hose make me itch. Of course, one of the unofficial mottos where I work is "Every day is casual day."
I wear ballet flats and character shoes when I want to be a bit more dressy as my everyday work shoes. For the job that involved periodic extended walking they both worked pretty well, if you have enough support in the ballet flats.

Ooh, I like those Sketchers. I love that you people will do my shoe shopping for me.
I think even if I wore flats, I would not commute in them as I destroy shoes quickly in the wild and I just don't want to be taking them to the repair shop that often.
I have very similar sketchers, in black, that I wear all the time.
