I was also shocked to see cut-offs on the Mizzou examples. I would only wear those to wash my car. I think if there are shorts and T-shirt days, the safest would be Sperrys or sandals (not flip-flops obviously).
I am also from Colorado and was slightly offended by the socks with sandals comment. It's not THAT bad here. Okay, my dad really does wear them, but the only thing he ever rushed was the offensive line.
I guess ever since Crocs, Colorado is known for ugly shoes. My high school was full of girls who wore Vans every day, but that is not me. A lot of people here also wear those "These are not shoes" shoes, which look like Sperrys for hippies to me. I'm not a chaco girl either, but I think if you wear them normally then you probably could on shorts days.
I think the kitten heel suggestions are coming from alumnae. I don't think they are terrible, but seriously what 18 year old wears those? I'm not buying anything for recruitment that I would never wear again. I do think it would be odd to NOT wear heels with a preference dress unless you had an injury.
