KLM allows Crew to wear sneakers

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!"
