I am against mandating footwear for employees (unless there are safety issues) but if I were in charge I'd have to outlaw those fingerered shoes. They FREAK ME OUT!

They probably can't have a dress code that is different for men v. women, generally speaking. They can have different dress codes for professionals v. staff.

I LOVE them. Seriously. Very comfortable. I have gotten all kinds of wild reactions to the shoes since I've been wearing them (2-3 years now).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

SERIOUSLY. I am entirely against them. Sorry, folks.
However, requiring heels can't be allowed. I can't wear most heels without pain, and I'm sure there are enough people who can't wear any heels without pain for it to be a really stupid idea. They're patently suffering for fashion. It's like requiring pierced ears. It's a medical thing.

Was he running in them? I do not do that.

I didn't just meet you at a thing on Wednesday, did I?

Because books.
They look hairless hobbit feet of the future. So wrong. I'm all for comfort, but I just wear flipflops. Or go barefoot.
