As you may have noticed, there has been heavy press coverage over the last few days regarding the Society’s TUC motion on workplace footwear.
Women in jobs such as air stewardesses and shop-workers are required to wear court shoes or high heels as part of their dress code. The Society’s spokesperson Emma Supple spoke on ITN lunch time news on Wednesday 16 September 2009, high- lighting the long term health risks of wearing heels in the workplace.
The Society has also featured in The Independent, Metro, The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and all national papers.
"Two million working days are lost a year through lower limb problems, we are not trying to ban high heels as they are good for ‘glamming’ up but they are not for the workplace" podiatrist and Society spokesperson Lorraine Jones was quoted in the Metro newspaper.
