Wearing heels (pumps) at work
Can a colleague ask you to not wear heels as they make noise when you walk?
Gift them a pair of headphones.
Yeah why not, same as if you were talking loudly or had music playing or had a loud fan or really squeaky shoes. You don't have to do anything though.
Do you work/walk on concrete floors in the office?
Why wear heels in an office environment? I am genuinely curious
Google women’s formal shoes. You’ll get your answer
No, I want to hear your reason why. Why wear makeup, heels etc. I don't do any of that. What's the purpose of makeup if we're at this topic, too?
Maybe not. But they can really ask you to avoid wearing shoes that make noise. If you know you are making noise, please take steps to reduce them. You can also go all pissy about it and complain to HR.
If it's impeding if your safe space go for it
There is sticky pads to help avoid the noise. But I wonder why the heels at work? Like really high ones?
If you are clomping like a horse change your foot wear.
Be considerate to others. Stop wearing heels if you have to walk on concrete or wooden floors and make that annoying sound.
Can they? Yes Should they? No fucking way!!
