Problem with work shoes? Advice please...?

I am starting a new job within the next few days and have a problem. I am going to be working at a small clothing store for women as a lead sales rep. The dress-code is casual/semi-formal-ish, no jeans policy, and this is my problem. I noticed the female employees all wear wedge type sandals, or clothes and shoes that I would never wear in my own time. I don't like skirts, shorts, capris, tank tops or short sleeve shirts, mainly because I avoid the sun and I am not my fittest. Also, my feet sweat A LOT because I have hyperhydrosis, so naturally sandals or shoes that can't be worn with socks are extremely uncomfortable since slipping and sliding around causes friction against my toes and sides of feet. If I could I'd prefer to wear boots with a slight heel but I also have scoliosis, so standing for long periods of time becomes hard enough, let alone in heels. I almost feel contradictory working in a fashion clothing store when I am extremely conservative, wearing long pants and long sleeve shirts.


So I've been really nervous and concerned as what to do. I want to be comfortable as well as fit in with everyone else. Any suggestions or advice? I'll probably talk to the manager about it today, but was wondering if anyone else had this kind of problem as far as having sweaty feet and finding comfortable, fashionable shoes that can be worn with socks, or have a remedy for sweaty feet?


Thanks in advance!Problem with work shoes? Advice please...?
My experience has showed me that the only kind of inside sole to wear when you feel sweat is one that is made from cork which is obtained from tree trunk bark.





I have used them for years and a very thin cork sole does the trick. No slipping or discomfort. You will be able to forget about your feet once you start using them.





Also the soles used in Dr. Scholl's and Birkenstock shoe wear do the same trick but are made of some other material. They are worth the investment and are top fashion health shoes. Both brand names made shoes that last for years.





I don 't know where to advise you to buy them but they are well worth looking for.





Your at work outfit could be long pants and a long sleeve shirt with a sweater vest for chilly days. I would choose either all black or all cream color which are elegant and yet fit in almost anywhere.





Please remember that you do not have to look like your clients or customers. What counts is your kind and helpful attitude towards your customers and their families (if they come along too on the shopping trip). A warm understanding smile always helps.





Good Luck in finding your shoes. The right shoes are so important.Problem with work shoes? Advice please...?

You could wear flats with the little shear socks that you cant see under the flats


Like these

You could also just slip your shoes on and off throughout the day





As for what to wear


Even though you dont like dresses or skirts you kinds have to suck it up because of the dress code

The longer skirts on this website probable come down to the knee


Also this store has adorable dresses, tops, flats and dress pants so you could probably find something you like

Well it sounds like u have a real dillima on you hands. I noticed you said theat there is a strict no PANTS pollicy. I would ask your boss if you could wear slacks. They give a nice formal but not to formal look. I would also ask if it would be possible to maybe wear a cute pair of flats (if you get straight leg or bootcut slacks they will cover you socks) like these %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
