 o
Sandals with or without

Hi,
I'm the MOG twice this year. I purchased some strappy sandals with a small heel for the first wedding. Now my question is do I wear hose with these or not? I think I would prefer hose, but am wondering if they would be too slippery with hose on. The dress I'm wearing is not quite floor length, so my feet will definitely be showing.
Your comments will be appreciated.

The style certainly seems to be bare legs. Wasn't it just last year that Martha Stewart became a "don't" in some magazine for wearing hose with sandals? You can buy footless pantyhose if you'd like the shaping of pantyhose without the look.

If you decide to wear hose, I'd buy sheer (and sheer-toe) hose that is as close to your skin color as possible.

Good Morning, I am the MOB. I had the same question and the sales person at the shoe store suggested these little comfort pads for the balls of your feet and said they also would help my feet to not slide in my sandals. The panty hose that I found to be the best are called SPANDEX, they have no feet but boy let me tell you they make your legs feel like a million bucks after standing on them all day.

Styles today suggest no hose, just a pedicure. If your feet will be seen, make them look great. The idea of the footless hose sounds good, but I can't help but visualize my grannie dancing and her skirt shifting to show her rolled down knee highs. Not, of course saying that you are even remotely resembling my grannie, or that you would wear knee highs rolled down, but think of candid pictures. If wearing the footless hose, how far down do they come? If dancing energetically or not even, just a swirl of skirts, would the end point show? But, the idea of gentle support while on your feet, well, that does sound tempting.

The footless hose are just bands that go around your foot. Basicly they just cover the ball of the foot below the toes for about 2 inches.

Skip the hose.....hose with strappy sandals is a 70's thing.
