Theresa May should “finally set an example we can be proud of” and wear flat shoes instead of her trademark kitten heels to this year’s Conservative Party conference and beyond, according to the leaders of a trade union campaign.

The TUC conference in Brighton, England, is backing a new law to ban women from being forced to wear high heels in the workplace, and have asked the Prime Minister to support it.

The campaign began when 27-year-old temporary receptionist Nicola Thorp was sent home from work for wearing flat shoes. The damaging effects of high heels on the feet and the back are well documented.

My Note:  This is ridiculous and any other words you would like to use to note the absurdity of this.  She should be able to year whatever she likes at any time without being criticized.  What she is wearing in tasteful and the shoe style has become her signature look. Women should have the right to close as well men.  However when we choose, who has the right to demand different.    I applaud her style!








Maybe Hillary could meet with Ms. May's fashion consultant for a little makeover.

And while Clinton, for the most part, has opted for sensible flats (particularly on the grueling campaign trail), many of the leaders, as well as their supporters, have noted that it should be the individual’s choice, and no one else’s.

  1. I do not recall anyone calling on former PM David Cameron to wear high heels nor were there any protests about his wearing simple oxfords or other flat heel shoes. Ms. May looks fine in her shoes and has every right to wear them. The protest by the so called aggrieved class is simply silly.
