Shoe Sharing

[lightning]

I just found these shoes and wanted to share them with you. Do you think they are appropriate for grooming in? I think they look pretty classy for being rubber and the price isn't too bad either!

I am interested in your feedback on them.Thanks.

I probably wouldn't use them to groom in since they are open toed and I'd drop something on my foot for sure. They are freakin adorable though!! I want a pair just to wear when I'm off the clock.

There is an entire section od closed toe shoes on that site. My only concern is that there is no support and knees and ankles need support doing the work we do.

I like them, they look comfy I like the Avery shoe I love bows, the red are cool, and anything made in the good ol USA is a big plus. SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE!

My thoughts exactly. Knees, ankles, and back-supporting can make all the difference.

Cute, but i can not wear shoes without arch support, or closed heels.If yo get them let us know how they are.

I agree with about everyone else...they look cute and I'd get a pair for other use, or maybe my home grooming, but I couldn't wear them at work! They have closed toe, but they don't have closed heel...knowing me I'd walk right out of them. LOL. Safety hazard-for klutzy me anyways-methinks.

My boss wears sandals all summer, she seems comfortable in them. i guess it depends on your flooring and what you're comfortable in. I wear my chucks all year, for a bit at one store I couldn't cause they had white on them... But, everyone there wore crocs. I've almost killed myself in those things a number of times, either slipping, miss stepping down stairs or having a piece of fencing driven through the bottom of them (and yes my foot!) personally my feet sweat too much for plastic shoes

I concur.
~That means "I agree"....

Along with the questionable support for your feet and ankles, I'd worry about the open heel. Ever get a hair splinter in the bottom of your foot? It's very painful! And I have, once or twice, had a dog bite at my foot. With that open heel design, you could get a nasty bite wound.

My boss wears open toed shoes all summer and I think she's crazy. SO many times she's gotten her foot stepped on by dogs and scratched them up. I wore sandals one day and stepped on an undercoat rake..that sucker stopped a centimeter from my foot!! It wouldn't have gotten even close if I'd been wearing my normal tennis shoes.
Plus I find that sandals don't give me the support I need if I wear them ALL day.
