What kind of shoes do you wear to work?

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a new job in home health on Monday. The dress code is business casual and we wear a company (blue) coat over the top. I live in a cold climate so I'm thinking of sweaters with black pants or Khakis. I have no idea what kind of shoes to wear though. There is already 2 feet of snow where I live so it would be more convenient to be in boots, however I'm not sure how these will really look with black pants and other "business casual" attire. Changing shoes is not really something I want to do considering I'll be in and out of homes all day. Any one else dress like this for work? What do you wear on your feet?

I don't work in the snow but I wear these on cold and/or rainy days. They're a low profile neoprene and not at all bulky. I wear them with both straight leg and boot cut and can fit warm socks when needed.

If you're going to wear black pants, carry a lint roller in your car for your pet owning patients.

Thank you Libby those look perfect for wearing with black pants or khakis.

After working my first week I have now seen that most of the nurses wear scrubs and practical winter boots. I think I can just wear any winter boot so I'm relieved not to have to worry about finding something that looks "dressy."
