Shoe Recommendation for Green Bean: Flats that cover the top of foot (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by TessaFink
Hi partners,

I’m looking for cute flats that cover the top of the foot that are within the dress code. Ideally something to wear with a cute dress or shorts.

I feel like most flats only cover the toes. Loafers are nice. I’ve seen some ankle boot shaped shoes that don’t go up the ankle at all. But I don’t know what they are called.
Something like this I guess, without the studs.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but... oh my sweet lil greenbean, you're going to stop caring about your cute shoes real quick. My go-tos are the safe-t-step clogs from Walmart, I even walk 2 miles each way to work and back in them and they are comfortable and easy to keep clean. Plus, y'know, $17. This job will eat your shoes alive so you should really get the cheapest thing that's comfortable, and remember that you're going to be getting mop water and sugar and milk all up in them so being easy to clean is a benefit too.

I know....but I’m so excited to wear normal/nice clothes to work after working in a movie theater for 4 years and only getting to wear a black polo and black everything else.

Cute clothes are fine, I almost always wear dresses and leggings and look cute from the ankles up... But even my $100 culinary school nonslips got eaten up in less than a year on the floor. The Walmart ones have some leather shoes that look a bit like chucks from the same line but I don't think they are as comfortable as the clogs and definitely not as easy to clean. Pretty much nobody is going to see your feet so having clunky basic black shoes will 100% go unnoticed. I've been working with my little team for over a year and couldn't tell you what kind of shoes any of them wear other than my manager (leather Tom's types, because we talked about it once) and one ssv (because she wears grey and blue running shoes that are definitely not in dress code and that bothers me lol).

Oh, worth noting that our dress code DOES specify what materials shoes can be made of and I believe canvas is something that is excluded but you should definitely make sure you're compliant before you buy anything.

And one last protip: there's a partner discount website called MyPartnerPerks where you can get discounts off of all kinds of stuff including shoes. Sketchers is a partner company and we get a good percent off there, I think 30.

Leather vans is my go to. You can get them in different styles too. And they have a thick comfy sole
