Hello VS Specialists and Docents-
I wanted to make you aware of the loud shoe controversy that has apparently been a matter of discussion. Please read below and walk softly.
Thank you,

Hey Jana,
I cc'ed you on this e-mail because it's a complaint we've heard about both VS employees and VSS volunteers. It may also apply to docents as well since they're up in the galleries for extended periods of time.
Thank you!

Subject: Amendment to VS Dress Code Policy Regarding Footwear
Hello again everyone, and good afternoon,
I've been asked by senior management to amend our dress code policy regarding appropriate footwear in the galleries. I know a few of us (myself included) have been approached by visitors that are upset with the "loudness" of certain pairs of shoes (primarily heels and boots). The newly amended policy does not "ban" any specific shoe style like it does with flip-flops and overly casual tennis shoes; you are only asked to be mindful of the noise your shoes may make in the galleries. Please be sure that while patrolling the galleries you stick to reasonably undisruptive and quiet(er) footwear.
By the way, I'm sure some of you have noticed that I often bring in an extra pair of flats when I come in wearing heels or boots. Feel free to do the same!
Thanks!
