Starting from May 6, KLM cabin crew are allowed to wear sneakers under their uniform. This means more comfort during work and a contribution to employee well-being. They can choose their own sneakers (which must meet certain requirements) or they can buy the specially developed KLM sneaker.
By allowing sneakers, KLM is responding to the demand for more comfortable work shoes, especially who wear pumps would like an alternative. Wearing sneakers under a uniform is becoming more common among airlines and is in line with current times. A pilot which KLM conducted in the past year showed that wearing sneakers contributes to employee well-being.
