Appropriate shoes in an airliner cockpit
Hi!
I am an aviation student and I have a question. I have something called haglunds-hael, which means I can't wear shoes which are hard around the heel, like "suit shoes". The condition makes it painful and extremely uncomfortable, so I am only able to wear sneakers or shoes with a soft material. I believe all airlines have black "suit shoes" as their uniform and dress code, but do anybody believe for it to be possible for an exception? That I could for example wear nice, black sneakers that don't "stick out" instead? Or at least black shoes that look nice. (I am thinking about operating, but I believe it won't affect my relationship with hard cased shoes) Thank you! Kind regards Troubled aviaton student. |
I always wore black leather sneaker-like "walking shoes". You can find them in several brands, and some are almost indistinguishable from "suit shoes".

In many Countries your employer would be required to make reasonable adjustments which might include not restricting you to uniform footwear. |
Not sure too many people would notice ! |
What about a pair of black Chelsea style boots? A good few people I work with (myself included) wear boots and I personally find them much more comfortable and softer at the back than most shoes. No idea about your condition so just a thought.
