Is this appropriate to wear in the workplace?

[Anonymous]

We got a very senior new attorney at work. She's been wearing shoes to work that make me think WTF?

Here's a similar shoe to what she's been wearing:

Appropriate for work???

[Anonymous]

Ouch. I can't say they are wildly inappropriate, but they look painful to wear.

[Anonymous]

I think they're fine as long as she can walk in them.

[Anonymous]

What makes them inappropriate?

As with most things, appropriate depending on the outfit. And you may want people to infer something because you link to Frederick's,but notice the same shoe is all over the place:

Nope. Not inferring anything. I googled "stripper shoes" and the show I posted came up pretty early on. Cuz that's what her shoes remind me of. I can't find her exact shoes but the one I posted is pretty close....

Hooker shoes.

Not appropriate, but if she is very senior she has earned the right.

I have a colleague who has the Sergio Rossi version of these. I agree they look like stripper shoes. I don't like them as "going out" shoes, much less in the workplace.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I'm kinda appalled and jealous at the same time.

I feel as though there's more to the story between you and new senior attorney. Want to talk about it?

Hooker shoes. Not appropriate in a law firm, especially if he wants to continue to be taken seriously.

I think any high-heel shoe would cause a problem for him

[Anonymous]

I think they are too much for the workplace.

Well new senior attorney seems to have done well so far. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. At least not before walking a mile in her shoes.
