Starting on 6th May, KLM will allow its Crews to wear sneakers with their uniform.
The Dutch airline says that this will mean more comfort during work and a contribution to employee well-being. KLM staff can choose their own sneakers - which must meet certain requirements - or buy the specially developed KLM sneaker, designed by Filling Pieces.
By allowing sneakers, KLM is responding to the demand for more comfortable work shoes. Wearing sneakers under a uniform is becoming more common among airlines and is in line with current times. A pilot KLM conducted in the past year showed that wearing sneakers contributes to employee well-being.
Senior Purser, Willeke van den Boomgaard says “In the past year, I have been able to test sneakers as a sustainable part of my uniform. After years of the classic look of pumps, I now wear sneakers with great pleasure! They give me a good start towards a good flight!"
