nyc: I am moving to queens and now i have a job in NYC, i will starting in Jan 07 and I am not able to figure out what type of shoes should i buy for my first winter in NYC. I will be commuting from forest hills to NYC.. there is atleat 15 min walk involved.. can someone please give me some tips as to what do they do, do you carry professional shoes with you and where snow boots or what?|||i have comfy snow boots, waterproof with a good tread. i live in a neighborhood that is the last place in all of the 5 bouroughs to be plowed. you have to be careful of those icy sidewalks. and you will want to be able to tuck your pants into them so that the bottoms of them dont get wet. nothing worse than wet feet and pants in the winter! just carry your nice shoes for when you reach work. and make sure they are WARM!|||thank you Report Abuse |||I'd wear sneakers and keep some office shoes at the office. 15 minutes of walking in office shoes would suck.|||Boots if you are female. Loafers and athletic shoes if you are a dude. You can get athletic shoes that look OK for a casual office.|||something which is very comfortable..i work there too..and i always wear flat shoes and carry my dress shoes in my bag..u have a lot to walk in NYC|||suits and ties lean towards a tailored dress shoe. business casual types go for a casual shoe like loafers. heavier boots aren't used until snowfall, unless you like timbs for an urban look. the ankle boot is also popular, and makes a good transition from dress shoe to cold weather boot. i agree you should commute with a comfortable shoe and leave your dress shoes at the office or carry them with you. i do b/c the trains get packed and i want to be ready for anything :-) the great thing about NYC is there are so many different styles its hard to say the norm, so you're free to create your own.|||Bring your worker shoes...and put them in a bag. Wear either flats or winter boot depending on how cold or if there is snow.
