On October 29th, 2025, Olivia Taylor amended the dress code. Earlier that day, she was dress-coded for wearing Ugg Tasman Slippers. Unhappy with the potential detention from the dress code, she asked Mr. Ghileri why students at Manogue weren’t allowed to wear Ugg slippers.  Mr. Ghileri responded that in the case of an emergency, the shoes would likely fall off if she were running too fast. She responded by making a bet that she could run around the track without that happening. This set off their bet, where if Olivia ran two laps around the track under 4 minutes and 45 seconds, Mr. Ghileri would amend the dress code. She did it, and the dress code was amended. This begs the question, if Ugg slippers can be worn, what other slippers can be worn?

Now, the two conditions Olivia had to meet for this bet raise a question for other shoe brands. The problem Mr. Ghileri had was the heel support of the Ugg Tasman slippers. He thought the Uggs would fall off when Olivia ran. So, does this mean other shoes with proper heel support should be included? For example, a popular brand that has gotten dress-coded is Hey Dudes. Like Ugg slippers, Hey Dudes can questionably be considered slippers because they have no laces to tie. However, they have the same amount of heel support, if not more, than Ugg slippers. Therefore, Hey Dudes should theoretically be able to be worn as well. Will it take another bet to include Hey Dudes, or will they potentially be included in this Amendment as well? After all, they are more supportive shoes, and they’re easier to run in than Ugg slippers.
