In Greece, it's illegal to wear high heels when touring
any ancient monuments.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, like stairs, you know, like wooden stairs in a
place where someone's been in high heels. It's just got
the puncture marks in there. So they are in an
effort to stop them grinding down the ancient stone and
putting marks and scratches and stuff in it. Ban high heels.

company to require female staff members to wear my heels,
and there's nothing that females can do to say not.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Attendants have their boarding shoes and then they're on board shoes,
which is a bit of a sensible shoe. No, they
switch do that, especially ones like Emirates and all that
they've got like a high heel, almost a stiletto, but
not like super high. And then when the flight takes
off and then they can get up and start doing
their job, they slip into a more sensible.
