However, there are endless worries and doubts such as "I'm not used to wearing them...", "I don't know which shoes to buy", "What kind of shoes can't I buy?"
So this time, MAMIAN will introduce how to choose recruit shoes and freshers shoes!
What shoes are NG in the job hunting and business scene?
When you start job hunting, it can be difficult to imagine your life after becoming a new member of society.
However, even after becoming a new member of society, there are many cases where they wear the shoes they wore when they were looking for a job. There is also data that about half of new working women continue to use the pumps they wore when they were looking for a job.
Therefore, it is recommended that you choose recruit shoes not only for one year of job hunting, but also for after you get a job at a company.
First of all, NG in the business scene! With that said, here are some informal shoes to avoid.
〈Shoes that are not suitable for job hunting and business scenes〉
- Materials that give a flashy impression, such as enamel
- Flashy reds, yellows, and glitters
- Open toe or pointed toe
- flat without heels
- too high heel
- fancy patterns and designs
- Exposed items such as sandals and mules
You can use it even if you become a new member of society! Recruit shoes you want to choose when you get a job
In the business scene, formal shoes are considered "pumps". Therefore, other than NG shoes, you have to choose pumps suitable for the business scene.
Then, what kind of pumps can be used continuously even after becoming a new member of society?
<Pumps suitable for formal and job hunting>
- Leather/synthetic leather
- something black
- Round or almond shaped toes
- 3-5 cm high heels
- Simple and formal designs with no decorations or patterns
In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the cause of sore feet and how to choose heels.
For those unfamiliar with heels, start with pumps with 3cm heels. For those who walk a lot for job hunting or work, 3 cm heels are safe.
However, it is said that a heel height of 5 to 7 cm will make a woman look most beautiful.
5cm heels are not that high, so 5cm heels are recommended for those who are particular about their appearance.
When you become a new member of society, choose freshers shoes according to your workplace!
There are many cases where regulations on materials, colors, and designs are loosened when actually working. "Light colors such as beige, pink beige, gray, etc.", "materials other than leather such as patterns and suede", and "pointed toe" pumps can be worn without problems depending on the company.
But as a working adult, you also need to have a pair of the most formal pumps. It is not uncommon for companies to wear formal attire when meeting people outside the company.
Therefore, when you are looking for a job, you should choose the aforementioned “formal black pumps”.
After becoming a new member of society, it is recommended to purchase a second pair and a third pair that incorporates playfulness and fashion little by little, looking at senior employees.
In recent years, there have been changes in job hunting and corporate dress codes, such as de-recruitment rules, the #Metoo movement, and the promotion of casual offices. In contrast to the traditional trend of "women must wear high-heeled pumps" and "recruit shoes are black only", there are also cases where "slip-ons and sneakers are OK" and "non-formal shoes are OK".
It is important to choose shoes that suit the company flexibly, and are suitable for job hunting and new members of society, based on the current situation of the industry you want to work in and the human resources that the company requires.
MAMIAN women's foot-friendly pumps
When choosing pumps that can be worn for hours a day, the most important points are that they "fit your feet" and "do not hurt even if you keep walking". If the burden becomes too much, you will not only have a bad impression of the company, but you will also suffer mentally and physically.
At MAMIAN, we have developed the "iCoN" series of pumps designed to fit the feet of Japanese women, for women who cannot find pumps that fit them or who have pain in their feet when wearing pumps. Not only does it make Japanese women's feet look beautiful, but it is also extremely comfortable to wear for a long time without hurting your feet.
Every woman has a different foot shape and matching heel height. The designs and colors that are allowed to be worn will also be different. At MAMIAN, we offer a wide variety of pumps that are particular about the shape of the toe, the height of the heel, the design, the color, etc., while maintaining the ease of wearing.
Even if you purchase online, we accept returns, exchanges, and cancellations, so you can check at home whether it fits your feet and whether it hurts.
