Closed-toe Sandals

Opt for comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in. You will be walking a lot in schools and medical facilities.

Closed-toe sandals are ideal options. Most places do not allow open-toe sandals, even though in some schools it might be fine. Ballet flats or espadrilles are terrific options to choose from.

The options are endless, get creative and come up with beautiful professional looks for each day.

Loafers or Sneakers

Loafers or sneakers are perfect options for speech-language pathologists. You will need comfortable shoes that support your feet and sit well.

Working with small kids can be challenging, and it can get dirty or messy in the process.

Have a spare top at hand to quickly change and continue working.

Shirt and Vest

Casual Linen Suit

A casual linen suit is a terrific option. Especially when you want to create a professional and fashionable look.
