Keep Your Feet Protected!

Whatever the risk to which your feet may be exposed, the shoe industry can supply you with suitable protective footwear. Hard hats may be the symbol for safety on the construction site but remember that accidents can happen at any time. Protective footwear runs the gamut, depending on need:
• abrasion resistant upper materials for mountaineering
rescue crews;
• non-slip soling for fishermen;
• Nomex® fire-retardant materials for fire fighters;
• electrostatic dissipative soling in clean rooms;
• land-mine blast protection for soldiers; or
• even reflective safety trim for night runners.
Today’s consumers need to select the appropriate form of protection that fits their work or play activities to prevent their feet from being crushed, fractured, pierced or burned.
