It is tempting to jump in the clips and throw yourself in the aircraft seat as if you were on your way to the pool. But what you choose to take on your feet can be more important than just a little cool comfort.
According to an experienced stewardess, security should start right down to the toes.
It’s not about style – it’s about being able to escape. And it may be necessary if something goes wrong.
Shoes without heel cap – such as sandals, stilettos and bathing bars – are among the most impractical choices in an emergency. They can easily slip off, get stuck or be completely useless if you suddenly have to leave the aircraft quickly.
According to the stewardess, the choice is clear: Go with something you can run in and that protects your feet from heat, glass or other unpleasant.
« We see passengers throwing the shoes immediately after boarding, but it’s a bad habit. You never know when something happens, » says the warning from the cabin crew to the media Gala.
And it doesn’t stop at the shoes. The clothing selection also affects how to manage at a height of 10,000 meters. The temperature of the cabin can fluctuate and the air conditioning is sparing none. Therefore, it is recommended to dress in layers – and preferably pack a large scarf or a sweater that can both warm and act as an emergency pad.
The best footwear selection for a flight? Ordinary, closed shoes – for example sneakers. And no, crocs do not count. Even the most enthusiastic plastic fans must acknowledge.
