So, what exactly is considered Tennis shoes?
So, I got reprimanded at work today for wearing sneakers. The same sneakers I've been wearing since I started, actually. They said I was in dress code violation, and told me that "tennis shoes" aren't allowed. I've always thought of tennis shoes as canvas Keds or Converse All-Stars. Mine are kind of plain, black with white laces. I guess someone might consider them skateboarding shoes, but I'm not really sure. The dress code doesn't outright say "dress shoes only", in fact, it says sandals are okay. I've never heard ALL sneakers are considered "tennis shoes" ever, but I just need to see if anyone agrees with me, or not. Or am I just crazy? Regardless, I can't really afford to run out and buy shoes because after nine months someone decided my shoes aren't okay anymore.

Well when I was growing up, all sneakers were considered "tennis shoes" because whenever we had Gym Class, the Gym teacher (even our regular teachers) will call sneakers tennis shoes. If sandals are okay, and you are comfortable wearing them, you could wear sandals. Since you cannot afford to buy shoes or a type of dressy shoe, you could go to a Goodwill store or any other second hand store, and see if you can find a pair of dress shoes at a cheap price so you are not going to spend a big amount of money for shoes. You might want to talk with your supervisor and ask them on what footwear to wear at work.
