Should Wearing High-Heeled Shoes Be Mandatory?
Answers
The issue is in requiring a type of footwear in women that is not required in men. As a man, I would highly object to being required to wear heels that caused the following health problems: http://

No, it's not.
If a man was asked to wear a tie that gradually constricted as the day wore on until he was seriously uncomfortable, and heading into potential long term skeletal damage because of the constriction, then that would be comparable.

Seems that that's a subjective opinion rather than necessary truth.
But regardless, it has to be overridden by the known health risks. Walking in heels is just bad for you. There's nothing wrong in choosing to do things that are bad for you, if it's free choice. Being obliged to -- there's the problem.
I can't see why it's such a bad thing to allow at least some room for choice when it comes to footwear in particular.

Shoota, //Naomi, Portico sent her home.//
She was sent home after arriving at the client's office. Perhaps on being told she was required to wear heels, she called her employer to complain and was told to leave. I don't know, but whatever happened she didn't want to abide by the stipulated dress code.

We aren't vain in the same way as women are.
Otherwise, we would be clamouring to wear tight, uncomfortable footwear and clothes that reveal far too much of our bodies, especially in the middle of winter, and have wardrobes whose rails are groaning under the extreme strain of having to support clothes that we bought for one occasion and have never worn since. We would also probably only have 2, maybe 3 pairs of shoes, all of them bought for the surprising reason that they were comfortable enough to walk in.
I went to a family wedding last November, and as predicted all the memsahibs were complaining by mid-afternoon, that their feet were killing them, whilst us chaps were sitting down comfortably, only loosening out ties when called for.
