I can ask around, Aims. A coworker used to work for Ebsco, a competitor of theirs. We subscribe to a LOT of ProQuest products.
I think that in many/most workplaces, both peep toes and patent leather are now acceptable. Maybe not *red* patent leather. My workplace, we're all in sensible shoes, of course. There's one woman who wears pin heels, but she used to work for a corporation.
I still like kitten heels the best. not so far to fall.
but overall, heels, peeps. etc. bring it. unless I can wear tevas. Still haven't found the right scene for my patent-leather manolos that someone was brilliant enough to save for me.
I would totally wear those shoes to work (if I could get over the patent thing). Of course, I'm currently wearing my 20-eyelet Docs right now, so perhaps I'm not the best judge.
On Sunday, I got the most awesome pair of shoes EVAR. Red satin, peep toe, 3.5 inch skinny heels, with a small satin rose on the top of the vamp. GORGEOUS. I look like I should be in Cuba in these shoes.
Of course, where I'm going to wear them is anyone's question....
edit: here they are!! [link]
I'm starting to get excited about Cairo. For one thing, I get to buy new clothes! Hooray! And I need to start considering whether I can pull off the Fay hat look. I hear hats are a good idea, I've just never been very comfortable in them.
Toddson, sadly, no Prom for me. Work interfered, and then it didn't, but by then I had already made other plans, and GAH.
I'd wear those shoes to work, if I wore heels to work. Maybe this summer I'll start hauling a pair with me. I now own about three cute pairs of heels. Won't be wearing the patent platforms, though.
Right now, I'm wearing battered steel-toed Mary Jane Docs.
Hm. Just realized I'll have to start looking for traveling shoes. Closed-toed, probably. All of Travelsmith's seem to be flats, and I like at least a little bit of heel!

Do you know that ita has been looking for those for a really long time?
