Hey all, sorry I haven’t been around in a minute. I’ve had a busy week-and-a-half, with moving and starting a new job. Needless to say, I’ve been squeezed for time. Speaking of work, I had to deal with the semi-trivial problem of figuring out what to wear for “Casual Friday.” This is the first time I’ve ever worked in a corporate setting, so it was a novel scenario for me. Come to think of it, I’ve never had to wear business casual, so I basically have to figure out a whole new wardrobe without breaking the bank.
There is a point to this story. I needed to figure out what shoes to wear. Someone told me no sneakers. But then someone said sneakers are okay, but no flashy ones. Alright, I get that. But which ones are acceptable? Fortunately, I had a pair of black Converse Chuck Taylor’s on hand, and that seemed to fly with the my bosses.
If you want to play it safe in that type of situation, you can’t go wrong with something like the Vans Del Norte Mid. It’s ankle boot style is slightly more formal, but it’s still a pair of Vans sneakers that you can wear to do pretty much anything. The mid cut is great if you’re wearing more fitted pants, and the low profile sole keeps the profile even lower. Overall, it’s pretty much a cleaner, slimmer version of the Chukka Boot.
You can pick up this gray version at Zumiez. They also make a brown upper with black sole at Karmaloop.
