Safety Boot Must Haves

In the workplace, it's important to wear safety boots that meet your needs and can keep you safe. In this article, we'll discuss the three most basic features of a good pair of work boots: steel toes, waterproof or water-resistant uppers, and slip resistance.

Steel Toe

• Protects against impact. Impact is a leading cause of foot, leg and ankle injuries. Steel toes protect the foot from falling objects and protect the wearer from electrical shock, heat and chemicals.

• Protects against falling from height. If you work at heights, or have to climb stairs in your job then steel toe boots are essential for protecting your feet against impact damage as well as preventing injury caused by slipping on ice or snow covered surfaces when wearing regular shoes/boots

Waterproof or Water-Resistant

When you're working in wet conditions, you need boots that are waterproof. Water-resistant boots will keep your feet dry in most conditions but they can't handle the constant exposure to water. If you have a job where you know your feet will be getting wet and muddy, invest in waterproof boots.

Slip Resistance

Slip resistance is a measure of the ability of a surface to resist slipping. Slip resistant boots are important because they help prevent slips and falls, which can lead to serious injuries.

Slip-resistant soles are often made with special materials that have tiny bumps or grooves on their surface. These features create more friction between your feet and the ground so you don't lose your footing as easily. In addition, some manufacturers add rubber compounds that provide better grip when walking through wet or slippery conditions--like snow and ice!

These are the most important features

• Steel toe. This is a must-have feature for safety boots, as it protects your toes from falling objects or heavy machinery.

• Waterproof or water resistant. You'll want to make sure that your boots are waterproof so that they can keep your feet dry in wet conditions. If you need to walk through puddles or snow, this feature will come in handy!

• Slip resistance (also known as anti-slip). Shoes with slip resistance are good for preventing slips and falls on slippery surfaces like ice and wet floors.
