Is it “professional”? Absolutely not. Now “can you wear it to work”? Then maybe yes :) Really depends on your client. That your office allows this doesn’t make it professional. For instance, we wear jeans to our Deloitte office especially when we do not have client meetings. But doesn’t make jeans professional

this is a great take! thanks

To me, these are not business formal. They are likely appropriate in most business casual environments. My own career requires full coverage shoes but I know lots of people who could easily wear these to the office in different industries (even within consulting).

I wear the madewell version of this heels to work sometimes, nobody ever said anything to me, but I’m also the only female, so no men had said anything about my outfit ever, I think they are scared of me

Depends on your office dress code. I have similar pairs and wear to my office and client no problem.

Lol. I’m sure they’re not the style for everyone, but I have a similar mule type pair with open toes, so figured these would be cute too!

Please exfoliate heels before wearing!
I'd consider this a more casual look so i guess it depends on the office culture.

Think it’s fine. Kind of looks like a flip flop, but workplaces are pretty relaxed these days

Do you own jcrew heels already? Historically the company’s shoes have been pretty terrible quality/comfort for their price point.

Fine for day in home office, not fine at client site. Only time I’ve seen a teammate wear one was at our home office and she was also partners daughter.

These are hands down the comfiest shoes I own and I have them in beige holy crap I hope they’re not sold out I want them so bad get them omg

Can you please send me the link I need them

I think they’re fine for relaxed business casual environments! Just not a very formal client but generally fine- I agree with above about toes showing much worse than heels

I usually won’t wear shoes without a back to client
