Banning vertiginous shoes in the workplace could prove to be an achilles heel for the TUC. Have they factored in that women actually enjoy wearing high heels, despite ‘seven times as much pressure being exerted the ball of a foot with every step taken’. And have they considered that the vertically challenged like Nadine Dorries MP at 5’ 3’’ and me at 5’ 4’’ actually need high heels to look people in the eye. And yes, height does matter in a male dominated workplace!
Anyway what exactly is ‘inappropriate footwear’? Will we have a ‘heelometer’ with flatties, kittens, stilettos, and platforms and killers at the top? Where will all this fashionism all end? First the shoes then the skirts…don’t tell me tight skirts are a heart attack hazard for bankers with huge bonuses?
Take a hike TUC and kick up a fuss about more pressing issues like unequal pay in the workplace…or sexual harassment issues…or overly long working hours…or better working hours for parents!
