What went into SIA's new Pazzion cabin crew shoes after 31 months of development
Developed through multiple rounds of fittings, wear-testing and onboard trials, the new batik-inspired shoes incorporate feedback from female cabin crew to improve comfort, fit and durability.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) is set to introduce new closed-toe shoes for its female cabin crew, replacing the open-toe sandals that have been part of the airline's uniform since 1963. The new wedge shoes, developed over 31 months in collaboration with Singapore footwear brand Pazzion, incorporate batik motifs and color variations corresponding to different ranks.
Made from genuine leather with thicker lambskin insoles, the shoes offer improved comfort, fit, and durability, with a closed-toe design providing additional protection against spills and falling objects. The transition to the new footwear is expected to be gradual, with female cabin crew alternating between the old and new designs during different phases of a flight.
