Protective Safety Shoes

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does "foot leg protection" mean?

Ans - In the workplace, safety footwear and leg protection are worn to protect the feet and legs from physical risks such as exposure to corrosive chemicals, falling or rolling items, piercing or crushing objects, heat, cold, wet and slippery surfaces, and electrical hazards. 

2. Who needs protective footwear?

Ans - Safety shoes are worn in occupations where the wearers are subjected to risks and hazards that could negatively impact their health. They also act as a fall and trip prevention device. Personal safety is not the sole reason to protect your feet. 

3. How do I pick a pair of safety shoes?

Ans - Here are some things to think about:

Your feet shouldn't be confined by shoes.

The toe caps shouldn't be in contact with your toes.

Shoes that are too wide or too thin will eventually make you uncomfortable.

Look for leather or moisture-wicking footwear if your feet tend to perspire. 

4. How long should safety shoes be worn?

Ans - There is a broad rule of thumb that they should be changed every six months, but there are many considerations to take into account, as we have sought to explain in this post.
