If it is supposed to be a professional setting then absolutely not. If people look like slobs then they work like slobs. Who will get promoted, the person that looks like they should be at the beach everyday or the person dressed up? Presentation does matter even though you probably think that this is some great injustice that has been bestowed upon you.

I would say it would have to depend on the place you work? Obviously, you don't want to wear flip-flops if you are a zoo keeper or dental assistant. If you work in an office setting, you would want to maintain a professional appearance so even the nice flip flops probably wouldn't go with a blazer. If the setting is laid back, casual and safe, then flip flops should be fine. I know that living in the southwest where it commonly gets up to 115, flip flops are near standard for everyone.

We keep getting this question. If I saw you wearing flip flops to work - I would accidentally step on the back as soon as you got to the top of the stairs heading down. Flip flops are not formal or work attire and will not be tolerated. If I were the boss, I would fire you on the spot for a safety violation.

I think this is a bad idea.Flip Flops are not good for any kind of work. I agree comfort is a welcome asset for your feet but you should always have something that is secure to your whole foot. This will help with not losing your shoe when going up or down stairs r even twisting your ankle. I think that most employers would tell you that flip flops are not allowed due to compensation and company insurance policies.

If they are well made and comfortable, you could probably wear them to most jobs. If you work in an office environment where most men are wearing suits and ties, I would advise against it.
I am all about comfort, so I wear them all the time. I am a Realtor. I can do a lot of my business in flip flops -- dropping off contracts, showing houses, etc., but I would never show up to a closing like that!

Good idea. Quality and style is all that counts at work, but most especially remember COMFORT. If you're up on your feel all of the time, it may be the best idea to look into nice flip flops.

Hell no, flip flops are flip flops. Flat or high heeled, they're inappropriate for the office. Please, don't get fired because even some of the most laidback jobs have a dress code policy specifically stating no flipflops. Well, only unless you work at Walmart, then you can get away with them.

depends on the job and the company you're in. seeing that they're a fashion item i guess you could get away with really good, expensive (or expensive looking) flip flops anywhere. to wear the good old plastic ones to work i'f say it would have to be a fairly laid back place about clothes...

Depends on the rest of your attire - flip flops with a skirt suit, nah.
They keep your feet cool but the flip noises get on my nerves a bit & I wear flip flops whilst walking to work but when I get to work my feet are black, it's quite gross.... :-(
Good job we have showers in the hospital :-)

No. Anyone with class and manners will say that flip flops are NOT okay for work. Wear slip on sandals instead. They can be just as comfy.
