Boots vs Shoes

Post by blobneb »

Hi,

I have a job interview next week. I was just wondering whether it's acceptable to wear boots with ankle support when doing the job? I've seen a lot of you recommending trainers and shoes, but I think I'll need more support if I'm going to be doing that much walking. Is this fine? I have wobbly ankles and use custom orthotics from an NHS podiatrist, so I have a diagnosed medical reason for asking and can provide evidence if this falls under 'special requirements'.

Thank you.

These are the boots I have that are already broken in:http://wegowild.uk/wp-content/uploads/2 ... 2-of-8.jpg
They're admittedly on the heavy side, but I've never worn a more comfortable walking boot in my entire life. Every other pair of boots / shoes I've worn either lacks support or causes blisters.
