The Active Family

At Starbucks we have a pretty strict dress code. Black or khaki pants, white or black collared shirt, and black or brown shoes. Since I’m fine with a slimming all black ensemble, I’ve been on the hunt for comfortable and safe black shoes. The comfort factor is huge, as I’m on my feet for a minimum of 4 hours a whack, and it is constant on the go. The Safe part is pretty big as well. I need shoes that completely cover the tops of my feet, as we deal with seriously hot liquids that have the possibility of spilling. In fact, there was a barista a year or so that spilled a full french press on her feet, and it actually burned off her tattoo! That is scary stuff!

So in my hunt for affordable, safe, and dress code abiding shoes I came across work boots that look perfect. The prices are reasonable, and there are quite a few different styles to choose from. They don’t just have workboots, but a variety of work shoes as well. I think I’ll be ordering the Converse Womens C112 Sure Grip Plus Plain Toe Oxford. They also have miltary, postal and non slip styles.

I’ll let you know how they turn out!
