Not if you work for the Town of Greenwich.

The Connecticut town banned its employees from wearing flip-flops and sandals in the workplace.

Greenwich issued its policy earlier this spring to provide "a safe and healthy work environment."

Officials said they hope the policy reduces slips, trips and falls by ensuring employees wear safe footwear that's suitable for the work they perform.
