Work shoes essential personal protective equipment

Work shoes are essential personal protective equipment in some workplaces, such as construction, warehousing, factories and kitchens; they protect your feet, help prevent injuries from falling objects or compression, and can be worn throughout the working day.

Safety footwear comes in many designs and sizes; traditional ones usually contain reinforced toe caps to protect the feet from shocks, toe caps that nowadays can be made of materials such as aluminum or thermoplastic materials without having to resort to the use of metal. As such, they are needed in hazardous locations or where heavy object handling occurs. Steel or composite toe caps for toes are typically used in warehouses, where there's a greater likelihood of heavy objects falling on your feet.
