My (male) boss said that my shoes are very sexually alluring and maybe not suitable for the office!!

They have heeled black shoes, nothing special. I don't even think they look particularly nice (got them in the sale and they were good quality so thought they would do around the office).

Are they too sexy for the office?

I honestly just see simple black boots!

I think your boss has a foot fetish

Bluntness100 · 10/07/2017 20:24

I think the op is the one having the laugh. They aren't very high. They are just over three inches.😂

Are you and your boss both thinking they are sexy? Sexy clumpy sensible heeled shoe boots from clarks?

'Very sexually alluring'?

I don't care how he meant it, I complain if if I had to deal with that at work.

'Unsuitable for the office' is appropriate language (not that there's anything unsuitable here). 'Sexually alluring' isn't appropriate in a work environment.

I spent years having various shades of sexism and sexist crap thrown at me when I started work. I just won't tolerate it now.

I'm remembering the days when I might have been able to walk in them without looking like Kenny Everett

NomDePlumeReloaded · 10/07/2017 20:28

Phwoarrrrrrrrrrrr, OP.

I can hardly contain myself.

Is he on crack? Don't get me wrong they're nice shoes, but seductive? definitely not

The last pair I saw like that were paired with striped stockings and were peeping out from underneath a house!

Sexy, no.

silverstorm · 10/07/2017 20:37

What? They are a pair of Clarks! Hardly known for its sexy footwear Confused They are quite clompy heels as well.

I don't think there is anything you can say to him really.

yourcarisnotadiscovery · 10/07/2017 20:53

I'm more upset about being on the "home of frump".. {adjusts frumpy outfit and heads off to frumpville..}

GreeboIsACutePussPuss · 10/07/2017 20:54

but they are just fairly normal shoes?

They are quite high heeled, were you wearing them with a really short skirt? (still not ok to comment but I'm trying to work out what he's on about)

GrandDesespoir · 10/07/2017 20:57

They're hardly fuck-me boots. Perhaps he'd prefer you in a pair of Hush Puppies? Hmm

Or perhaps something like these?? Grin

Whatsername17 · 10/07/2017 20:59

His behaviour is highly inappropriate. Id report him to HR.

SerfTerf · 10/07/2017 21:14

Could a clarks fetish be "a thing"? Shock

Therealslimshady1 · 10/07/2017 21:17

He fancies you

SqueeksAway · 10/07/2017 21:36

Ask him if he'd like to stroke them in your best growly voice

Tell him he's been a very VERY bad boy and he can't

(Grin sorry couldn't resist)

DistanceCall · 10/07/2017 21:45

I can only (vaguely) imagine that he thinks they are sexy because they have (relatively) high heels.

Is your boss a religious conservative, OP? It's the only reason I can fathom to see your shoes as "seductive", TBH.

embo1 · 10/07/2017 21:47

I can see how they would look more sexy on than in the picture, but I think they're fine for work.

specialsubject · 10/07/2017 21:53

No wonder I can't buy shoes when three inch staggerers are described as ' not very high'.

They certainly arent attractive. I hope they are comfortable at least.

mummarichardson · 10/07/2017 21:57

Clarks wouldn't know seductive if it hit them in the nose Grin

auserinamillion · 10/07/2017 22:03

Is he even allowed to say that? If he was being serious that's discrimination

Yellowbird54321 · 10/07/2017 22:15

"Sexually alluring"

Do you work in Grace Brothers OP? Grin

C0untDucku1a · 10/07/2017 22:20

Your boss is inappropriate. The shoes are not.

Maxandrubyrubyandmax · 10/07/2017 22:24

Was expecting thigh high fuck me boots, what u got was black shoe boots with clarks cushion technology. Your boss is weird! Log the incident with Hr. he's no doubt trying it on!

justilou · 10/07/2017 22:52

Says sooooo much about him!!!
