Let me second the motion here. I’ve been out of the lab for some years, and working from a home office and being a writer made me realize I’m no longer willing to wear shoes that won’t let me either stand my ground and fight, or run away. I can go either dressy or casual, but I often shop in Men’s because the clothing is a lot higher quality. Both men and women should be free of the tyrany of idiotic dress codes. (My husband, a lawyer who bikes to work and changes in the office, discovered all kinds of shortcuts to have his cake and eat it, too. All genders suffer.)
