[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are a terrible idea if there is an emergency and you have to run or escape somewhere. So are flip flops and most open tied shoes. Err on the side of safety AND comfort. Where cropped pants and a nice t shirt with slip on closed toed tennis shoes. Leave the dresses, sandals and flip flops for when you arrive at your destination.[/quote]

I generally wear my dresses with sneakers or sport sandals when I travel so the footwear isn't an issue (though if I wear sneakers I keep a pair of sandals or flats in my bag because if my destination is warm it will feel so good to slip into sandals when I get outside.

I actually think most of my dresses would be find if I had to run or escape somewhere. Which is an extremely remote possiblity. And get real -- if something happened that was so bad I needed to run for my life or escape do you really think cropped pants versus a midi dress is going to save me. You could argue that a dress is more likely to make you look feminine in a way that might make a plane hijacker spare your life. Or that you could use the extra fabric from the skirt to make bandages or something if you were stranded on a deserted island. Like if you are going to make up insane scenarios with a near 0% chance of happening there's no reason that your cropped pants ensemble (with a "nice t shirt" because why if your main concern is emergency safety -- a utility vest with a first aid kit would be less flattering but far more practical right) is any more practical than a comfortable midi dress.[/quote]
