• What should I know about the fit and care of safety footwear?
• Fit:
• Walk in new footwear to ensure it is comfortable.
• Boots should have ample toe room (toes should be about 12.5 mm from the front).
• Make allowances for extra socks or special arch supports when buying boots.
• Boots should fit snugly around the heel and ankle when laced.
• Lace up boots fully. High-cut boots provide support against ankle injury.
• Care:
• Use a protective coating to make footwear water-resistant.
• Inspect footwear regularly for damage.
• Repair or replace worn or defective footwear.
• Electric shock resistance of footwear is greatly reduced by wet conditions and with wear.
