The word safety shoes bring up the image of heavy duty toe capped boots usually worn by construction workers. However, safety shoes aren’t exclusively shoes for construction work or for people working in factories, mines or any other industry where there is an element of physical labour. There is a wide range of safety shoes, each suitable for specific work environments such as airports, outlet malls or warehouses etc.
Safety shoes are durable footwear which not only provide extra protection but also extra comfort which makes standing, walking or working on your feet for long hours easier. Here is a list of benefits safety shoes and why you need them regardless of your work environment:
- Preventing Injuries
Depending on the environment you work in, there is a range of potential injuries that could occur to you. From a heavy object falling on your feet to someone stepping on your shoes and to a sharp object puncturing through your shoes; the list is endless. There is also the possibility of tripping or falling down and ultimately hurting yourself. Safety shoes have toe caps and anti-slip soles that protect the instep of the feet from damaging injuries.
- Improving Posture
Well fitted safety shoes offer cushioning and support to the arch of the foot. In other words, your feet and ankles are fully supported which further ensures the proper alignment of your leg. Properly aligned legs help in improving the overall body posture and reducing back pain.
- Enhancing Comfort
Regardless of whether you stand on your feet or sit at a desk while working, you have to wear shoes for hours at a stretch. Ill fitted and uncomfortable shoes can increase the risk of foot problems, back pains or cause distraction. Despite being heavy duty, safety shoes are extremely comfortable because they are meant to be worn for long hours without causing muscle strains or fatigue.
- Protection Against Natural Elements
While working outdoors, you come across different types of weather; from sandstorms to hail. Safety shoes are well insulated and waterproof. They thus protect your feet from conditions such as frostbite and other circulatory issues caused by excess heat or cold.
- Protection Against Man-made Elements
While working indoors, you are bound to use electronics and machines. Being surrounded by electrical devices means a constant risk of electric shocks. Safety shoes are made from materials such as rubber or leather, which act as insulants and thus reduce the chances of experiencing an electric shock.
