2. 23% of people surveyed chose sportswear as their eternal outfit – turning active-wear into inactive wear
3. For ladies, with pain no issue, heels dominated the footwear choice with 45% choosing stilettos for their two feet in the grave.
4. Over half of the men surveyed cited business footwear and brogues as their shoes of choice.
