\u201cBe wary of wearing sandals if you are planning on going in the lavatory,\u201d they said.\n

In an interview with IGV, Christine Negroni says it\u2019s advisable to wear \u2018comfortable flats with a substantial sole that are easy to get off,\u2019 adding: \u201cIn case of an emergency evacuation, the ground outside the plane could be cold, wet, icy, hot or covered in metal, fuel or airplane debris.\n
\u201cIf you are using the emergency evacuation chute, you\u2019ll have to remove high-heeled shoes that might puncture the slide which explains why flats are the best shoe choice.\n
\u201cAnd while it\u2019s not covered in the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s rules it is just smart to make sure your shoes are on for takeoff and landing.\u201d\n

\n
Additionally, Negroni says that wearing leggings is an absolute no-no, as they could prove fatal or result in scarring.\n
She explains to IGV: \u201cMost air accidents are survivable but many also involve fire.\n
\u201cLeggings are made of synthetic materials. When these chemically produced fibers get hot, they melt and can bond to the skin.\n
\u201cIn 1999, the Federal Aviation Administration said that garments made of cotton, wool, leather, and yes, even denim were preferable over synthetics.\u201d\n
