Demand of some Japanese employers to insist their lady employees to wear heels to work (https://www.socialnews.xyz/2019/03/14/japanese-women-unite-against-wearing-heels-to-work/), is atrocious and does not befit a sober and progressive country like Japan.
The Japanese employers must drop this insistence.
It seems that this happens in USA & UK (that poor country in the throes of Brexit woes) too (http://fortune.com/2016/05/12/high-heels-dress-code/)... In 2015, a group of women were turned away from a film première at the Cannes Film Festival in France for wearing flat shoes. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity? Quelle horreur!
