Damn high heels. Walked miles in them yesterday. Ugh. I’m done! You all cool if I wear flats and boots from here on out?

Do comfortable but not ugly shoes to wear with skirts/dresses exist?

Thanks everyone for these great suggestions. I’m currently online shopping on my commute home with your tips, and I think Santa’s going to come early for me. ; )

Comfy footwear for the win.

The other thing that helps when wearing heels is ones with straps (Mary Janes). You don’t have to adjust how you walk as much because they are strapped to your feet

Thanks for this reco. I just ordered Vionic’s low-heel black suede bootie. If you see someone strutting around in them next week, that’s me. Lol.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
