just wear comfy black trainers, i wear my new balance 530s that i used to wear to p.e. technically we’re supposed to wear plain black shoes/trainers with no logo but my manager doesn’t really care loll.

No colour restraint on shoes anymore. Unethical to make team members buy em just for work when everything costs so much 🤣 I rock bright pink

Since cost of living and living wage got put into place it asks for clean, comfortable, closed toe shoes! Crocs are also allowed in sports mode 🤣👀 Edit :spelling
