 The Importance of Proper Fit in Safety Footwear

Ensuring the correct fit of safety footwear is crucial for both comfort and protection. Ill-fitting shoes or boots can lead to discomfort, reduced productivity, and even compromise the safety features of the footwear. Here are some tips for achieving the perfect fit:

• Measure both feet, as they may differ in size
• Try on safety footwear with the socks you’ll typically wear at work
• Ensure there’s enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes
• Walk around to check for any pressure points or slippage
• Consider the need for orthotics or special insoles

At Southern Workwear, we offer a range of sizes and can provide guidance on proper fitting to ensure your workforce is equipped with safety footwear that fits well and provides optimal protection.

 Maintaining Your Safety Footwear

Proper care and maintenance of safety footwear can significantly extend its lifespan and ensure continued protection. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Clean regularly with appropriate products based on the material
• Allow wet footwear to dry naturally, away from direct heat sources
• Use a boot brush to remove dirt and debris after each use
• Apply leather conditioner to leather boots to prevent cracking
• Replace worn-out insoles to maintain comfort and support
• Inspect regularly for signs of wear and tear, especially on the soles and toe caps
