According to INSEE figures, the presence of women in the labour market continues to increase. “In 2020, in France excluding Mayotte, the employment rate for women aged 15 to 64 stood at 67.6% [...] ; women accounted for 48.5% of the labour force as defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO).” But it does not stop there: the feminisation of certain professions is now a reality, as reported by the 2018 report from L’observatoire prospectif du commerce, which indicates that 56% of employees in the food-focused retail and wholesale sector are women, for example. This percentage even reaches 66% in supermarkets.
In response to this observation and to meet the needs of female workforces, Shoes For Crews has developed shoes tailored to their characteristics and expectations to support them throughout their professional careers.
Here is a selection of styles designed to be worn across a range of sectors.
