I think I'll have to impress her with shoe knowledge. So, help needed! LOL

I am not sure if Bebe has that rule, but I did work for a company Aldo, at a local mall, during my freshman summer vacation from college, and they had the hgih heels and the fun frisky stylish ones. Here's how they sort of done it. #1 We used to pretty much get the heels for 75% off...their cost...and when you work for a palce you kind of get that 'loyalty thing' and want to wear them. #2 they were not required BUt the were 'encouraged' to wear. It's almost like the 'peer pressure' type thing, which sounds crazy but it is, and I ended up, and people do, almost FEEL required to wear them.

When I worked at Charles Jourdan as work experience I always wore heels to work. Unfortunately I could not find any of theirs to fit me so I had to wear my own, c'est la vie.

Adeana,
I just interviewed at Aldo today. I think I showed up well (no heels, just suit), and learned about the company (thanks for the advice!) before-hand. Employees at this one get a 50% discount off cost, and, like you say, are encouraged to wear any Aldo shoes. I did ask if men were allowed to wear heels, and the manager said "Yes, of course. We want our emplyees to have good first hand knowledge of the shoes they are selling and wearing them always gives good knowledge about them!".
How cool is that?

BTW, my avatar shoe is one of my Aldo Tequila sandals which I LOVE!

Good news, Scot! Hope they come back with an offer. Sounds cool that they would encourage guys to wear heels there!

I agree. This IS like a series. Can't wait to be how it turns out and if it is a 'go', we will need regular up dates.

How cool of the managers to be encouraging rather than 'put off' by a man in heels.

I to noticed the sales clerks at BEBE are all in high 4-5 inch heels and they manage very well. I have yet to see any slipping of the shoes off or signs of sore feet.

I was walking through Macy's the other day and past a Clarins counter when I looked down to see a beautiful pair of black 4 inch stletto pumps discarded and around the other side of the counter was a pretty brunette in a dress and nylons standng with the weight off the balls of the feet.

I don't think she would make the cut at BEBE.

I love to see that too. I fantasize about being able to get hold of those shoes. Would never steal them but it is a fun fantasy.

Any word on the Job? Can't wait to hear that a fellow male heeler is working wearing heels!
