Lol get therapy they’re just feet. Calm yourself down.

Likely would not do it to a formal client meeting (suit & pumps), but a less formal one or meeting in office. Absolutely.


+1. Another lawyer.

Context is everything.

PP above…I used to skirt (pardon the pun) the rules and wear mules or even espadrille wedges but I’m rebellious like that.

Generally, open toed shoes (even peep toed) are not professional. Forbidden in my former health services workplace, even though I sat at a desk.

I generally steer away from bare toes for any professional situation. But that’s just my comfort level. I wouldn’t judge anyone else and I see many others wearing shoes similar to those you linked to. They’re nice.

I was imagining something very different! I think that if you have a good fresh pedi those work in general. I steer away b/c I don't like to rely on needing a pedi.


Hm. My toes are neat but unpainted.

Depends what you mean by professional. In my office for day to day dress that would be fine. But I'm a lawyer and if I'm going to court (requiring full suit) I always wear closed toed pumps.
