Go barefoot at work ?
 |
| Dressed magazine looked at barefooting at work in summer 2013. Summer is fast approaching once again........ |
What do YOU think?
According to Fast Company, that's how many Americans seem cool with going barefoot at the office in the USA. Fast Company referred to a survey done this past summer by Adecco.
Who agrees? A great Brit!
"I was padding around in my office without my shoes on yesterday, but obviously in public events when I have to respect the dignity of the office I put my shoes back on."
-Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to the BBC in July
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, for your pragmatic approach to progressive barefooting!
For those of us with less-prestigious positions, we may be relegated to kicking shoes off under our desks.
If all else fails...become a Yoga teacher!
Blessings!
I used to go barefoot at work all the time until the sales department had a meeting. Since I am the most publicly visible of all company employees there was some concern about company image. I took my year end bonus and bought some Vibram 5 Fingers, which seems to have amused everyone. Next - moccasins. I plan a collection of minimalist footwear, which the advertisers seem to really like. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is silly and a poor compromise, but it's a good job I don't want to leave.
You're position probably represents the views of most of us who'd prefer to be shoeless. Do you work in the USA?
ReplyDeleteIs there a lot of barefoot living here in the U.S.A.?
ReplyDeleteI think its great. Going barefoot feels and to me if you have nice looking feet - do it. It feels wonderful. I loved offices that were relaxed about that. It just felt much better. It also kept my feet cleaner longer - they don't sweat unless socks and shoes were on them. - Yuck . - Go barefoot!!!!!!!!!!!!
