Take a long walk in your shoes. Wear them all day. How do your feet feel? If they don't hurt, the shoes would be considered comfy.lizcooks4u said:Does comfy shoes include nice/new tennis shoes?

You know, I think they really frown on tennis shoes! I'm not 100% sure on that, but I remember taking some with me and never wearing them because it didn't feel appropriate to me. But that could just be me, but I think I remember them not really approving! Just like how a lot of people say we really shouldn't demo in tennis shoes either, just something I've heard, don't shoot the messenger!lizcooks4u said:Does comfy shoes include nice/new tennis shoes?

I love a professional look, but ya know, after spending the money for conference, spending the money to get to conference, you shouldn't have to buy new clothes. Just look neat and clean (oh yeah, and don't stink!) and you will be fine.

Here's another Wave 2 attendee who will be in one of two types of shoes:
1. Croc's...hot pink mary janes and a new pair of light blue "nile" Croc sandles are on order right now! (I am pretty certain that my Crocs will be what I will be in unless it's raining cats and dogs!)
OR
2. Tennies!
This will be my second conference...I am all for looking nice and I will have PC shirts/capri's or Khakis on along with my cool crocs! But, I am also all for being comfortable with all of the walking we will be doing inside McCormick Place and out in Chicago!
janetupnorth said:I don't have crocs because they are quite expensive around here and being the wife of a missionary, just don't spend much money on myself, but I do have a pair that are similar to crocs but the sandal style from Payless last year...they are SOOOO comfortable (just can't wear them on HO tour...).
They are bright orange though. After seeing your pink though, I may be sporting them for walking days.
...and to the other points, I am there to further my business, but my customers are out and about town, not at Conference. After working 8-5 daily for years in business-wear, I look forward to a little casualness...
Like Anne said though, clean and neat. I won't be showing up in mud stained torn jeans with dirty old tennis shoes...

They are those "silly" looking plastic shoes that I SWORE I would never wear!! Well, I am eating my words cuz they are the greatest! Soooooo comfy!
I just ordered my light blue Nile crocs today for $19.99 delivered!DebbieJ said:I only paid $15 shipped for my Crocs MJs. Just have to watch the sales and coupon codes.

Kelly, I purchased a pair of Mary Janes and tried on the Cayman. I wear a size smaller in the Mary Janes. My question is: I want a pair of Nile but they are not available locally so I would need to order them online. Did you get the same size as your Mary Janes and did they fit the same?KellyTheChef said:Janet~

lizcooks4u said:I had another thought, but not sure I"ll do it. Wear Tennis shoes, brand new/comfy to walk in and take my dress flat black shoes with me in PC tote and change at meetings. I"m having a laparscopic procedure done on 6-29 and my Dr. Thinks I'll be fine if there's not too much walking, she said to take 1/2 pain pill if I need it thruout the day; I"m a little concerned now about the walking I had a lap px done previously though and didn't think walking really bothered me!!!
thanks
