Work Safety & Toe Protection

Foot Protection In The Workplace

Foot protection in the workplace is an ever growing concern in the United States. Every day more and more companies are placing requirements for employees to wear steel toe protection. Steel toe boots and shoes greatly range in price depending on the brand and model. With the choice, and price range employees are sure to see a large difference in quality, comfort and style. For some, price is not a barrier to a good quality work shoe, but for many, price is the main factor in choosing which footwear provides the protection and comfort they desire as well as afford.

There are many types of protective steel toe options for the consumer to think about. The typical steel-toe boot, shoe and sneaker, or the old and handy large steel toe covers which were buckled over the user’s shoes. This model was bulky, loud and generally uncomfortable to wear or walk around in.

Now, into the future, a new generation of protective footwear has arrived based on the idea of the former.

An overshoe (or galosh) with a steel toe cap implanted inside, has changed the way we look at our work shoe foot protection altogether.

Now workers have more choice with the shoes they wear to work, while still maintaining the protection their employers’ require.  Workers wear their comfortable tennis or running shoes to work, slipping the protective overshoe over their comfortable shoes.
