No, just normal black enclosed shoes - nothing fancy.
You'l need to buy pants, too.
Good thing is, you can get them taxed each financial year.
So technically, you'll get the money back.
No, that isn't really true.
You can claim a tax deduction for the cost of work uniform for the year you buy it, along with washing/repairing expenses every year you use it.
However, with a deduction, you don't "get the money back"; rather, your total income is reduced by the claimed amount, and how much tax you have to pay is worked out from that slightly smaller figure. You only save a small amount, as the money you save is the tax you don't pay on the amount you claim (when you otherwise would have had to).
Claiming a deduction for uniform is only beneficial if you actually pay tax (earn over $14,000), otherwise it's not worth bothering about, as you can't get any lower than paying $0 tax.
In any case, the rule is you can only claim items of clothing which are specific and unique for your occupation. As far as I know, that means that you can claim the expenses for your Woolworths Logo Shirt, but not generic black trousers or generic black shoes, even though you may have only bought it for your job (because they are not exclusively worn/designed for your job).
