UK employers can dismiss staff who fail to live up to "reasonable" dress code demands, says employment law firm Thompsons, as long as they've been given enough time to buy the right shoes and clothes. They can set up different codes for men and women, as long as there's an "equivalent level of smartness".

It boils down to the word "reasonable" dress code demands. I do not feel that having the option of wearing smart, black, flat shoes to be unreasonable. It's not comparable to wearing a tie etc as you don't suffer potential injury from wearing a tie (Unless if you were a complete idiot).
