When I moved away from Bahrain, I must have packed about 50 pairs of shoes. I entered Bahrain with my black boots, tennis shoes and flip flops. In three years, I accumulated shoes. When I moved to Japan, I started downsizing due to lack of space for my collections. The downsizing continued until I started observing classrooms and student teaching. I was required to dress professionally. I did so and learned flats and a great Spenco insert is a teacher's best friend. I dressed professionally every day except for the day my middle school Principal ordered me to wear normal clothes for my last day.
The dress code at my current school is casual. Wearing heels is difficult if you have to get down the hallway to deal with a blow up. I wear heels for special occasions and IEP meetings. The dress code in Alaska seems to be similar. With that in mind, I've decided to bring a minimum amount of shoes.
- heated Columbia boots - on sale bargain!
- black flat boots
- mud boots
- my favorite black heels
- 1 flip flops for the pool
- tennis shoes for running
- cute tennis shoes not for running
- black flats
- casual black flats
Yes, I need all these shoes.
Don't judge, lest ye be judged! (shoes included)
