Female uniform staff have the choice of purchasing their own uniform shoes provided that the style conforms with the specified guidelines (refer to P.28) from any shoe outlet they choose, anywhere in the world OR they can purchase shoes from one of CX’s preferred suppliers.
The maximum reimbursement will be HK$300 per pair, or equivalent.
Refer to the last part of this section for guidelines on selecting appropriate shoes.
4.1.1. Entitlement
Two pairs of shoes every 18 months.
4.1.2. CX Preferred Suppliers in HKG

Tests and trials have been conducted on the shoes provided by the suppliers, in consultation with a podiatrist.
Female uniform staff are to approach the Uniform Services to check their entitlement for shoe replacement. Upon confirmation of entitlement, Uniform Services will issue a ”shoe entitlement confirmation slip” (refer to Attachment A) together with a “Terms and Conditions” slip (refer to Attachment B) and list of addresses of preferred suppliers.
4.1.4. Purchasing from CX’s Preferred Suppliers
Staff are to show their CXID card / ICAO Crew card when purchasing from CX’s preferred suppliers in order to get a special rate.
Suppliers will have a stock of CX’s preferred styles in their shops for staff to select from. If they do not have the required size, staff can either wait for the size to be ordered, or purchase from other suppliers.
Note: New recruits in ISD or HKIA will wear their uniform during training. A letter will be issued for them to show the preferred shoe suppliers in lieu of a CXID card (which would not yet be ready).

4.2. Female Staff in Outport
Outport staff can buy their shoes locally, or from anywhere around the world, provided they meet CX specified standards. Any outport staff who have difficulty obtaining appropriate shoes locally (within the maximum allowance of HK$300 or equivalent) may contact their local Uniform Co-ordinator, who will send a request to Uniform Services for processing. Uniform Services will arrange for Dr. Kong uniform shoes to be sent to them. There will be no size change allowed after receiving the shoes.
The following options are also available at outports where the HK$300 or equivalent budget cannot be met for self-purchase shoes: The staff member may still opt to take the HK$300 or equivalent for self-
purchase from the port Uniform Co-ordinator. Outport Uniform Co-ordinators will continue to source a local shoe
supplier that fits the budget. Information will be passed on to local staff accordingly.
Outport uniform staff may also purchase their uniform shoes in HKG, with our preferred suppliers, while they are here for training or leisure. They may directly proceed to our preferred supplier and show their CXID card, then select shoes from our preferred styles. They must check their shoe replacement entitlement with their Uniform Co-ordinator beforehand. The uniform staff will have to pay for the shoes, keep the receipt, and claim reimbursement in their home port.
Female uniform staff are to contact their local Uniform Co-ordinator to check their entitlement. They can purchase their shoes the same way as female HKG uniform staff.
4.2.1. Reimbursement Process
Female outport uniform staff are to present the original receipt and confirmation slip to the local Uniform Co-ordinator.
The Uniform Co-ordinator will arrange for reimbursement according to local practice.

4.2.2. Amount of Reimbursement
The maximum reimbursement is HK$300, or the actual amount if below HK$300.
4.3. Selecting Guidelines
It is important to select shoes that are comfortable and appropriate for the shape of your feet and the way you walk. It is best to try on a variety of shoes to get a feel for which are the most comfortable. Move around in the shoes and see how they feel when standing and walking. The following points may be helpful when selecting shoes:
The shoe should have good arch support. The arch of the foot should rest perfectly on the shoe. Don’t rely on the shoe to stretch – some shoes don’t. Toes should not press against the leather when you are standing up. For the best fit, try shoes on in the evening when your feet have ‘spread’. Wear stockings while trying on shoes. Soft, slip-resistant and flexible soles are essential; avoid thin soles. A wide heel is important; stiletto styles are bad for the feet and back.
The heel area should be firm and strong. A deep, reinforced toe box is important to avoid pressure on toenails. The
toes should be able to wriggle freely inside the shoe. Shoes shouldn’t be too narrow, but should fit the width of the feet
comfortably. There should be a thumb-width’s space between the tip of the shoe and
the end of the longest toe. Shoes should be lightweight. The upper leather material should be flexible.
