Open toes shoes for court?

I would keep conservative and go with closed toe shoes. In a casual office, yes. But in court? I lean very conservative.

I would not. But would not be awful if they finished the overall business look.. I might choose a low height first.

I say no. Boots, loafers, closed toe dressier shoes would be good. No to athletic shoes also. It’s much better to be over dressed than too relaxed.

IMHO. Judges may say nothing, but this is their court, and they like respect in THEIR COURT. Your demmeanor and appearance may be judged, and may factor in the final disposition. Dress up.

I would wear closed toe to be on the safe side.  Judges can be strange about anything happening in their courtroom that they feel is less than respectful.  I know of a judge who threw the court reporter out of his courtroom for wearing what he called sandals.  His regular reporter was on maternity leave and this was a temp that he threw out!  Another judge made someone in the audience spit their gum out.  

When I was in court reporting school, before taking the state exam, we were required to get a certain number of apprentice hours sitting with a working reporter in a courthouse.  The teachers would tell us some of these stories and urged us to be very professionally dressed and act respectful at all times.

Are toes considered disrespectful? 

It seems strange to me but this is what I found with a search.....

No, open-toe shoes are generally not appropriate for court. Open-toe shoes, such as sandals and high-heeled stilettos, can give the impression that you don't take the proceedings seriously. Instead, you should wear closed-toe shoes like pumps, loafers, or dress flats. These options are professional-looking and comfortable enough for potentially long court sessions

Dressing for Success in Court: What NOT to Wear
Casual Streetwear: Casual streetwear, open-toe shoes, flip-flops, bare legs, and sagging pants can give the impression that you don't take the proceedings seriously. Dressing conservatively for a more polished look can convey respect for the court.
