Comments on: Should high heels be banned at work? The TUC thinks so… http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2009/08/should-high-heels-be-banned-at-work-the-tuc-thinks-so.html Shoe Blog: Shoeperwoman Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:27:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Emily http://www.shoeperwoman.com/2009/08/should-high-heels-be-banned-at-work-the-tuc-thinks-so.html/comment-page-1#comment-2134 Emily Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:31:25 +0000 http://www.shoeperwoman.com/?p=1428#comment-2134 I work retail...and while we are we technically can wear heels (as long as they are a closed toe) nobody does!! It is purely functional. I stand ALL day long on a tile floor. In a home improvement store. In such an environment, it is dangerous to wear heels. We wear tennis shoes. I do have a pair of boots with a very short (1 1/2 inches) heel on them that I wear occasionally, but I find that my feet are killing me by the time the day is over. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my heels, but wearing them at any retail job is INSANE. An office job would be fine though, since you spend most of the sitting.

If the women want back/foot poblems, let them wear heels! It's their loss, not the TUC's. Ps, I really like those shoes in the picture. Do you know where to get them? Such a stupid law.

The TUC is in the UK. Anyway, I do find it offensive that the right to wear heels might be denied to women. Does anyone realize that the TUC is not a part of the US government? The TUC is in the UK.

Second, it's just ridiculous to tell someone what type of shoes to wear for work. I don't agree with forcing women to wear high heels, but I'm pretty sure that grown, working women are capable of deciding for themselves what type of shoes to wear. .-= Anna´s last blog ..<a href="http://annaseptic.xanga.com/709346032/nine-accidentally-funny-domain-names/" rel="nofollow">Nine accidentally funny domain names...</a> =-.

No one will tell me what kind of shoes I should wear. I work in an office & sit down all day, but that is still the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Does the U S Government not have anything better do than that? Are we going to get a stimulis package to buy new government approved shoes? No, no, no, no, no!!!!!

Gah. I'd love to have sat in the board room when they came up with this one.
