It can be difficult knowing when it is actually appropriate to wear sandals, particularly in a work environment wear being professionally presentable is important. This cutting off point of when it becomes acceptable will change depending upon what environment you’re in, such as being in coastal areas is going to make it more acceptable, whereas an in an economic hub like the centre of London, it isn’t really ever acceptable. There are also a wide variety in types of sandals:
- There are the fisherman type of sandal, which, although it is still technically a sandal, does leave most of your feet covered by the shoe. In addition to keeping your feet cool, because they keep your feet well contained they are also very practical for physical activities.
- Sports sandals have a lot of similarities with fisherman sandals, but what are described as sports sandals usually only have two bands on top and one on the heel.
- Dress sandals are a type which also covers a lot of your feet while leaving a few holes for sufficient aeration. The difference with these comes down to the materials used and the quality of workmanship; if you’re talking about sandals, dress sandals are definitely the ones which are the most presentable.
