    you have to also factor in the possibility that you might go somewhere else at some point and you won't be able to get in wearing sneakers. i think i'll use the pump pass...

    we signed up, but if I can find some cute sneakers I might just wear them. However, that's not as cute when you have big feet like me!

    I'm glad this was posted for discussion because I can't make up my mind either! My main thing is being comfy while I go out dancing but that never happens because I always wear heels. I like the idea of Sneakers Required because we're supposed to wear kicks, my dream come true!!! I'm 5'2'' and my man is 6 feet, so that makes me want to wear heels. Also I don't know how to put a fancy outfit together with kicks without looking like it's prom (you know how you take off your heels and then put kicks on with your dress after you take your pictures).

    Still undecided...
