new job/shoe dilemma

[bednobs]

ok, i start my new job tomorrow (yikes)
anyway, my dilemma is due to my illness i have an ulcer on my toe which i have to dress everyday. Consequently, the only shoes i can wear comfortably are
1)a pair of sandals (which show the dressing and anything thats leaked through - ewww!)
2) a pair of crocs that dont rub on the dressing (they are black)

now i realise in my new, corporate bitch career that neither of these shoes are acceptable, but i dont think it's feasible to wear any other shoes and not cripple myself/make the ulcer worse
what should i do? what should i wear
do i draw attention to the fact i have on crap shoes and make a joke of it? stay in bed all day?
heeellllppppp

bednobs - Wear your crocs with black socks. Anyone asks, you have a problem with your foot!

Strikes me what shoes you wear have nothing to do with your ability to do your job.They gave you the job without wondering what shoes you had on. It is your first day so you don't want to be uncomfortable it will put your mind elsewhere when you need to be in control of your new surroundings, Do what skyep says with black trousers, and in the next days see what you can get that are a bit more appropriate and comfortable. Dot hawkes is the shoe expert perhaps if she sees this post she can give you some advice (thats if you want any) Best of luck tomorrow.Puss XX

Wear trousers and maybe your sandals will be covered by the length of your trouser legs.

I have a similar problem and i wear my black crocs with black socks, my trousers cover most of the shoe so no one has really noticed my feet. Deb :)

I get people in alot with problems like this, it is better to wear leather lined shoes that will allow the feet to breath and stay dry. Your dressing will be more effective then. You should wear 100% cotton socks and try to find a wide fit pair of trouser shoes, these are back in this season, and with a wide fit shoe, you get a deeper fit too, which would accomodate the dressing.
