    I'd say they will be fine. My mum used to work in employment and said the only footwear to put her off a good candidate was open toed shoes

    fine, boots can look really smart.

    one of our senior people used to come to work in flip flops and strappy tops which were not appropriate business wear and i can't believe she got away with it

    I can't see any problem, with the weather we've been having it seems a sensible choice to me

    If you are uncomfortable you could always change them nearer the interview venue.

    Although personally I don't see what the problem is. I used to wear boots all the time in my professional life pre kids and my job used to involve dealing with various high heid.

    Although not with members of the public and wouldn't have been able to have done it had it I don't think.

    Smart black ones with a low heel - not tarty or casual. I know it's going to be wet out and they're the only things I have that are both smart and weather appropriate (and I can't walk in heels!) - I'd be wearing them with a smart almost-knee-length dress, tights and a blazer.

    sounds a bit piratey to me argghhhh.
