Feet won't be clean for long wearing sandals on the streets of NYC!

What? I genuinely don’t understand this comment. What is touching your feet in sandals? How do you move through the world?

Just don't wear toe rings or anklets (worked with someone who did).

I think its unprofessional NOT to wear nail polish, however I also think you should wear a neutral, light colored polish.

Reminds me of the menopausal office lady look—sleeveless maxi type dresses and frumpy sandals.

This.

39 and no toes in the office

Walk to work in one pair of shoes change into one of the pairs of office shoes I keep in a drawer.

I just was in NYC as an executive with a group of others that included a bit of walking in the heat. I wore cute sneakers then changed into ballet flats or normal office shoes when back to an office. It was nice to have socks I could change out of.

This however has nothing to do with professionalism of toe exposure and only because NYC is disgusting and I want my feet covered there.

Toe cleavage hasn't been a thing in 35 years. Gross. No one wants to see your feet.

Frankly, I fall into the open toed shoes in executive management is unprofessional - but I think it depends on the industry/role because there are different standards. However, if you are wearing open toed shoes I would find it unprofessional to NOT have painted toenails.
