Although my main "paying" job is working for AT&T, I'm also a licensed massage therapist.
I do most of my massage therapy through my own business - where I usually wear scrubs or shorts and t-shirt.
However, I occasionally work in clinics (massage clinics, chiropractors offices, etc).
When I do that, I'm usually required to wear some sort of a uniform.
Here's where my problem begins:
I work about 20 hours a month at Massage Envy. Our "Fall/Winter/Spring" uniform is a golf shirt(with the Massage Envy logo) and tan dockers. I wear comfortable tennis shoes (an old pair of running shoes that I no longer run in).
By law, I have to wear shoes that completely cover my feet (so crocs and flip flops are out). However, I want to wear something comfortable as I'm on my feet for 8 hours.
So - should I continue wearing my old running shoes with white socks? Or should I wear something completely different?
I don't want to look any more like a dweeb than I already do.Topsiders or something similar.]]><![CDATA[Rowangrey @ 6/8/2008 12:02:37 AM]]>271845This, maybe?

Not high fashion, but for massage therapy, they're clean - you can throw them in the wash, relatively inexpensive and don't look dorky.

But please do not...and I repeat "DO NOT"... wear white socks in them, unless it's the extremely short type bingo mentioned (you might want to try those out at home for a couple of hours, as they tend to wrinkle up inside your shoe if they don't fit perfectly)

But since the business has stated the work attire, I think you are ok.
Where I work, I work in a building where there is alot of high ranking officers(Army). At the beginning of my job, work attire was to be professional. As time has gone on, it seems it has become very business casual (co-workers wearing "hoodies") I try to continue to dress professional because you just never know what meeting you will be drug into or who you may come face to face with. Fridays we are able to dress down, and those are normally days alotted for server room cleanup and/or moving equipment, which makes it difficult to do when you are dressed up. I've installed network switches in filthy switch closets before in my professional attire. Talk about uncomfortable!]]><![CDATA[bingo @ 6/7/2008 1:54:08 PM]]>2716882008-06-07T13:54:08+01:002008-06-07T13:54:08+01:00<![CDATA[Rowangrey @ 6/7/2008 1:11:19 PM]]>271674«hOOsker : I agree with teh rabbitt.

But I'm clueless.
