WORKPLACE FOOTWEAR GETS AN UPGRADE. BY SUZANNE BLECHER
Office style is-a-changing. Some days call for a dressed-up look, while
others are cooler and more casual. Bottom line, the shoes you choose for
work are about comfort and that is non-negotiable. A heel is pretty much
always office-appropriate and a laid-back loafer can work well too.
Sneakers with elevated style are suitable in the right setting, too. Work
footwear reflects the look that you wish to portray to bosses, clients and
coworkers; so make it count. We have asked brands to give us their best,
new in-office options. As consumers purchase new footwear for going back
into the office, what are they asking for and how are you responding?
