Every employer has a duty to equip their employees with the correct safety gear that will not let them down should the worst happen. Trusted by many are the unassuming steel toe cap boots which are designed to withstand impacts and protect the feet and toes. The better steel toe cap boots will also offer resistance to petro-chemical environments where corrosion could potential pose a significant problem to the integrity of the shoe. The comfort of a leather or suede leather upper as well as a pierce resistant steel sole will offer durability and sturdiness even in the most arduous of conditions. Of course, traction is always an issue too, and it is something that makes a pair of safety boots complete, for without it, all of the impact and corrosion resistance comes to naught if somebody falls. This is why many of the boots come with an anti-slip heel, which will enable employees to remain on their feet even if they are in wet conditions, or carrying heavy loads.
Where you might not expect such durability and quality is with Wellington boots. But these too can be safety boots, providing fantastic resistance to a multitude of different hazards including hydrocarbons, animal and vegetable fats as well as chemicals. With a deep tread and a steel mid-sole, these boots can keep you on your feet all day, as well as keeping your feet dry in difficult and arduous conditions. With boots that are made of high grade PVC/Nitrate, it is also important to have an air ventilation system to prevent heat from building up which can promote infections. Finding boots that fit all of these requirements is a difficult job, but the best stockists will offer them for a great price as well, providing little excuse for not investing in quality.
