OK... so even though I work for myself, with the economy I've had to look for another job for constant income (long story.... very....long....story....).
But now I've got a small problem.... Other than having to buy pants (I have some pants, but they don't fit -- wasn't able to leave the house for 8/12 months)..... I don't have any dress shoes.
Now that in itself isn't a bad thing some would say -- but I also can't wear dress shoes because I've never had any that fit. My toes are "messed up" compared to normal toes, so within an hour of having loose toe-fitting dress shoes on (or about 100 steps) I have small blisters on 8/10 toes. Get snug ("proper shoe size") fitting, and my toes are numb within a few minutes and changing color. Get ones that don't blister my toes or make them go numb, and I walk out of the shoes (they're about 2 sizes or about 2 inches too long).
Dress shoes just aren't made right for my feet, and I even have a similar problem with some walking/running shoes too (so it's an actual design issue).
So I was wondering, if someone was wearing a dress shirt, dress pants (basically business casual stuff), what would you recommend with the shoe thing? Wear what won't cause problems (walking/running shoes) and explain why -- or stuff feet into shoes that will cause pain and injury so it looks better?
As a note: the job's for a SASS Case Manager (screening and assessment services) -- where the people I'll be talking to are HR/Psychologists/Social Services people who will pick up on things -- and I'll be analyzed from a psychological standpoint so everything, and why, will be used for/against me.
