in different countries and places around the world, And today
we're starting with high heels.

my brand new wooden floors. Get those high heels. Yeah,
well similar, similar.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
In Greece, it's illegal to wear high heels when touring
any ancient monuments.
Speaker 1 (00:43):

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It'll kind of chip away at the yeah away. They're
like a soft soft size pack.

sight seeing. You must have been a sensible sneak.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A sensible walking shoe.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But apparently it was never a concern until people started
wearing heels because they want to have photos up there
like little quick, little glamour shots.

heels and it would scratch and they could literally see
as you said, on a hardwood floor, you can see it.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
The dings, the dents.
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.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I mean, I just think in general, we could probably
get rid of them as a shoe as a concept. Yeah,
you know, they're not enjoy I'll reach for a boot,
and if I do go a heel, which is once
or twice a year, it's a chunk.

them in the workplace to wear them?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
No, I've never had a real job, right.

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.
