Wear Comfortable Shoes to a Conference
From personal experience, I know that wearing 3" heels is not good if you are going to be standing or walking for long periods of time. For the men out there who laugh at women wearing 3" heels, I know that those ultra modern shoes that you wear can be equally uncomfortable! If you want to look extra spiffy for a meeting, carry an extra pair of shoes with you.
