Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes - sh.itjust.works
I just started interning and it’s my first office job (Yay!) but most of the
clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially
shoes. I have no “appropriate” shoes because shoes have always been a particular
source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have
to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are
tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus. Do you guys have any advice on how
to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe
solid clean white sneakers? For reference I’m female.
Question: What are other people wearing? “Office attire” has gotten far more flexible since the pandemic, and was trending towards casual footwear even before that. You could probably wear a nice looking pair of sneakers. I can’t speak for women’s fashion, but as a guy, I really like the fit and comfort of the Sketchers Go Walks, and they come in wide sizes which is roomier and less distracting for me.
Yes I agree, I have been looking around at others’ footwear and I do see some sneakers (though nicer cleaner looking ones than the ones I’m wearing, which aren’t bad, they’re solid black, but the design is very casual and sporty). For this reason I’m thinking I might look for Birkenstock boots and a pair of comfortable white sneakers. I’ll look into the go walks, I like the roomier shoes! Thanks :)
Black is much easier to clean than white, but gray or brown are the best if you have to occasionally get dirty. Birkenstocks are also roomy, although I do think the quality has dropped significantly since I was young. I had a pair of sandals that lasted 20 years, but I bought them in the 90s. When I replaced them, the replacements lasted 6 months.
