Many of us do need protective footwear in our work, and the most familiar is likely to be the steel toe boot. However, there are other reasons to wear a steel toe boot other than for work. Keen DIY people and outdoor people all know the benefit of protecting their feet, and a steel toe boot is ideal.
Most of us won’t need a steel toe boot in our line of work, although there is something to be said for having such protection in any job. There are many hazardous workplaces and even some that on the face of it don’t appear hazardous. A steel toe boot can easily protect against any kind of danger. Many hospital workers prefer a steel toe boot or shoe, just because of the extra protection offered. Anyone who is on their feet all day appreciates any additional safety for their feet. After all, if you need to be on your feet at work then your feet help in your livelihood.
There are many places of work where you will not be allowed access without a specific steel toe boot or other safety boot. There is good reason for that, employers want to protect their employees and guard themselves against lawsuits being brought for not insisting or providing ‘fit for purpose’ footwear. Protecting our feet at any time is important but it is arguably more important to protect your feet in your work environment. There are specific regulations that give standards for any steel toe boot and if your work does expect you to wear boots to regulation then you would do well to adhere to any such request.
Imagine a heavy object dropped onto your feet, without the protection that a steel toe boot can give you. You could find yourself in real agony. Any foot injury takes longer to heal. We can’t rest them completely as we normally have some movement to do throughout our day. Time off work for a foot injury due to the wrong footwear is time that is not well spent. We do tend to abuse our feet and really, we should do exactly the opposite and give them regular TLC.
