I wish I could wear stilettos. I admire ladies who can stand out in 4-6 inches high heels for long hours because I can only wear up to 2.5 inches. They are the women who usually work in the malls, offices and hotels. They do their rounds, attend to the needs of their customer.
Here's a good news to those who cannot stand wearing heels anymore. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello signed Department Order 178-17, (Safety And Health Measures For Workers Who By The Nature of their Work Have to Stand At Work) last August 25, 2017 which prohibits employers from requiring female workers to wear shoes taller than an inch. The order states that high heels are no longer mandatory in workplaces and women can now opt for either flats or low-heeled shoes which are definitely more comfortable to work in.
Did you know that SM Supermalls have adopted this regulation to their employees and sales ladies?
At last, say goodbye to leg fatigue and back-pains from standing for hours. And to add more comfort, employers are also required to provide seats for women to use during breaks and rest periods. Ladies are just advised to wear shoes in line with their office uniform.
However, if you still frequent leg cramps and painful varicose veins consider these home remedies to soothe tired legs.
