onhertoes Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Just something I noticed the other day while we were at the mall. I always check out the shoe stores as we walk around the mall. Just to see the women shopping for there heels. Anyway, Something I noticed when we sat down outside the Aldo shoe store. Every sales girl had on beautiful highheels. I would say 5 inchs or more. My guess is that it must be a rule of the store if you want to work there. I think there were like 6 girls in there all walking around in heels.
Heelster Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Don't believe it's a company policy. The two stores in Cincinnati don't seem to. Girls wear a variety - - I looked!!
ChipsHH Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Girls at my store, well one of them, were short, so I knew she didn't have heels on Course, you would also tell by the way they walk as well. The other girl may have; didn't pay attention long enough. Formally "HHDude"
Dr. Shoe Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 It most certainly isn't company policy. However, if one girl does it then others often follow. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
onhertoes Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 It was in the big mall in the city. Maybe that is the reason. I know out at the mall near my house people working in the stores dress very casual. You almost never see nice heels in that mall.
Foxyheels Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It most certainly isn't company policy. However, if one girl does it then others often follow. Spot on I think, todays fashion mentality of being in the crowd, very nice to look at in this instance but one of the things that makes it harder for us to break down barriers. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours.
Mr. X Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It most certainly isn't company policy. I wish it was company policy, but alas, it is not. I have seen the girls here wear heels but it was a personal choice for sure.
CassieJ Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 When I shop at BeBe the girls always wear awesome very high heels. I feel sorry for their feet after an 8+ hour shift on a hard floor, walking all day. No place to sit in BeBe. It is AWESOME to watch though. Cassie - http://www.fetishforhighheels.com
pbsmith Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I think that some of the girls at Aldo wear high heels because they like them. Aldo sells lots of high heel styles so why not work there if you like heels? It certainly is a great selling tool. It has worked on me more than once! This year I noticed that the heel heights have got even higher at Aldo. They sell platform pumps with 5", 5.5" and even 6" stiletto heels. A few years back, 4" was the highest that you would see at the mall. Although, most of the new styles as mentioned are platforms so the net effect is still about a 4" elevation. Unfortunately this year, a lot of Aldo shoe fit small. I've had to take several pairs of these rounded toe platform pumps back for a refund as they are just too small. I wear a size 11, so no chance to go up one size. The "Capecoral" pumps fit great though! I bought both the red and black patent ones... in leather & heels...
