I was reading The Globe the other day and I came across this article, an Ontario MPP has put forward a bill that would ban:
Mainly targeting employers who force women to wear high heels. Similar legislation was passed in BC earlier this year. The reasoning is that high heels are unsafe and often lead to foot pain and damage in employees forced to wear them for hours on end. There is also the case of discrimination, men are not forced to wear high heels so why should women?
I have to agree as someone with very flat feet wearing the wrong kind of shoe can cause great pain, especially after standing for hours, I could not imagine doing so in something even worse for your feet like high heels which cause problems even without existing foot problems.
employers from mandating workers to wear unsafe footwear as part of dress and uniform codes.
