Do this with a firm touch. “Toe hair removal is very important when wearing sandals,” says Dabbs. “Do this by using a gentle hair removal cream that won't cause you any downtime.” So your buttery soft, elegantly trimmed soles are ready for their big debut! What to wear? “No slippers in town!” exclaims the celebrity stylist Luke Day. “They are just for the beach; you're just asking for a stubbed toe on the Tube. If you want to free up the toes, a nice leather sandal or Birkenstocks are somewhat acceptable,” he says, “but for me, loafers or even beach shoes are more appropriate.”
