Not in summer. Not in winter. Not ever. Not even if they were the very latest Gisele Bundchen Ipanema Haivaianas, dipped in white gold and given out with the goodie bag at the Atlantis party in Dubai. Flip-flops for business meetings are the definitive office no no. About as welcome as toxic Anthrax crystals found in the in-tray. Why don't women - and men - who insist on showing off gnarled toes, reptilian skin, dodgy toe rings etc realize the entire office can't be expected to concentrate on the latest sales figures with the nightmare-inducing spectacle within smelling distance. Feet are nature's way of saying back off. That goes for whoever is showing theirs off at work.
