Is it wrong? No dress code was given. They way the interview is, I don't know how it was for others but at my turn, after asking me some questions, I was told to climb a small stage and demonstrate. I wore long sleeve shirt, tucked in properly ironed trousers with socks and my leather sandals.
When one woman sighted my leg she chuckled and whispered in another's ear and they started gossiping my sandals.
It killed my morale and I began to wonder when it became a bad thing to wear sandals. I have many that I used to wear but now I no longer have the courage to.

This is how the sandal looks like like on the leg. My leg is not fine so I won't use it.

The socks part was not too good. You should have opted for a pair of shoes.

You might as well say it's ok to wear a police uniform to work as a banker.

it depends on the job and/or the location. I once went for an interview of an NGO in the north. I dressed properly like black suit, shiny black shoes etc but the other applicant who were northerner wore their normal hausa wear with local sandals. and some of them got the offers too.

Whether it's bad or not is another philosophical debate on social norms and perception which quite frankly, doesn't need to be instigated. The bottom line is that you should have played it safe.

In the code of formal dressing, u wear formal shoes and not sandals. You went to a formal occasion, so you should have dressed formally. Formal dressing have rules, so i suggest you read them up online.

Haba OP after dressing up, you decided to wear sandals to a job interview... So wrong!!! Even in class there's a particular lecturer in my department that doesn't like seeing guys wear palm sandals leather or not to his class. In summary, a pair of shoe is preferrable.


If he does Not have pair of shoe,he can wear only one leg of shoe with only sock on the other leg,it's better than a pair of sandal.
