Many employees are now lucky enough to benefit from a flexible approach to their work and life balance Judah and The Lion Smiley Leave It Better Than You Found It T-Shirt. Household brands like Zoom, Amazon and Disney are among the companies offering tailored working arrangements or a structured hybrid approach that suits their staff members’ individual needs. With many employees keen to take advantage of the chance to work from the office on a more frequent basis to interact with their colleagues face-to-face, ensuring they are wearing comfortable and practical footwear may be the last thing on their mind. However, experts have warned that the choice of footwear someone opts for during commutes and a day in the office could actually be hindering work productivity, and may even lead to future health issues in the future. With this in mind, John Johnston, Head of E-Commerce at Workwear Express, the UK’s leading provider of Workwear clothing, has outlined why sensible footwear is so important, regardless of the workplace one may frequent on a weekly basis, and discusses the associated long-term and short term risks to employees’ health below. What are the risks associated with wearing impractical footwear to work?. “The average construction worker walks a reported 1,600 steps an hour on-site, with nurses walking more than 4 miles in a typical 12-hour shift. Therefore, it cannot be underestimated how important the need for comfortable and practical footwear in the workplace is, as it can bring all sorts of associated risks to employees’ health and well-being. “What many may not realise is that these podiatry risks apply to every kind of job, including office workers, or even those jobs that don’t require workers to do a lot of walking in a typical day. They can cause painful foot problems such as bunions, blisters and corns “In some circumstances, impractical shoes such as heels, tight or pointy shoes can cause blisters, corns and bunions. While in the majority of cases, these will clear up on their own and only cause discomfort and possible pain, bunions carry the risk of longer-term medical complications, and can continue to worsen the longer you wear shoes that aren’t appropriate for your feet. According to the Royal College of Podiatry, bunions are more common in women, with about one in six (15%) across the UK suffering due to the more restrictive footwear they typically wear. Bunions can cause joints to bend, as your muscles get pushed out of position, leading to pain in the foot and surgery in a lot of cases needed to correct them. They can cause lower back pain, leg fatigue and muscle stiffness “Uncomfortable or impractical footwear can also cause an employee to suffer with lower back pain, especially if their job requires them to be on their feet for a significant part of the day. “As feet are the foundation of our body, when we wear shoes to work that don’t support them properly, it can cause an imbalance to the way that our body absorbs the energy that is generated when you walk or run, causing your spine to become misaligned. When these misalignments happen it can cause muscle spasms, stiffness and fatigue, reducing our range of motion. “Jobs that require you to wear heels, are a specific cause of lower back pain or muscle stiffness, due to their style and shape, and the fact that you are placing an extreme amount of pressure onto the front part of your foot when standing or walking. When you do this it causes your lower back to move forward slightly, meaning that your posture changes completely, and the natural curve of your spine shifts.”

I never used to wear anything but the smallest, most discreet accessories, for fear of standing out or looking a fool. Judah and The Lion Smiley Leave It Better Than You Found It T-Shirt Yet now I’m known for my large-scale necklaces and bolder jewellery choices (not quite on Iris’ scale, but my version of large, as I have much smaller features, whilst she has large facial features so can easily carry off her big pieces), and they have become a signature of my outfits, even when I’m wearing jeans and a tee. No matter you age or stage of life, no matter where you live or what you do, your style is something you can use every single day to express your personality, to use as a creative outlet, to help start conversations and connect with others, and to show your competence and leadership. Your style is a visual expression of your personal brand (and a personal brand is what others think or say about you when you’re not in the room, which means you can’t not have one, you just get to be the one who has more control over it if you dress in a more conscious way or not if you choose to ignore your style). Failure is just feedback, it’s not an end of the road, or a death sentence. I can tell you that I still put outfits on some days where I’m taking a risk, trying something different and I think they don’t work as well as I’d like, they are a bit of a fail, what I get from that is the feedback of where I’m going wrong so I can keep on improving rather than deciding to quit (I will still have to get dressed again tomorrow, and the day after that) so there is no quitting from getting dressed. Instead, small incremental improvements as you slowly figure out what does and doesn’t work will take your style to a whole new level. Getting a style education will speed up that process tenfold. Said by a truly young at heart 101 year old who can inspire you, even if you just don’t get her style (which many don’t). This is why style is truly personal, because it’s now about copying others, it’s about being true to yourself and chipping away at the marble around you to reveal the style angel inside you.

A safety yellow t-shirt
As with all of kingtees t-shirts it fits well, is soft and comfortable. It is a very bright yellow and is good for safety. It also matches other bright yellow products, such as the zip up hoodie. I like it.
