Why do otherwise professionally dressed women (i.e. wearing a nice skirt and blouse or pants suit with matching jewelry) walk around wearing jogging shoes all day long? I seem to remember women started wearing jogging shoes during a transit strike in New York more than a decade ago, but back then, when they arrived at work, they would change into shoes appropriate for an office environment. Do women not think this is silly-looking (at least as silly as guys who walk around with suits and jogging shoes on)?

I work in a corporate office and typically see a lot of the women who walk to the office wear jogging shoes. Inside the office, they wear shoes that go with their outfits. The women I know keep a pair of dress shoes in their offices/cubicles, which would outwardly make them look like they wear tennis shoes all day. To C.Bruce – Think about it: if you walk around the city in your dress shoes, you’re likely to ruin them a heck of a lot faster than a pair of jogging/tennis shoes. Sure it’s silly-looking (at least I think so), but who cares? If it keeps you from buying another pair of dress shoes, all the better!

its easier and faster to walk in jogging shoes than in high heels. high heel pumps are mainly for looks and walking any distance is all but impossible. thats why women wearing heels take frequent stops to pause, look around or even window shop. once the heels are ‘bent’ or out of alignment, its all but impossible to walk on those heels for awhile.
