Orange alert. Orange alert. Was going to say "Eh?" - but a few neurons managed to fire just now. I'm always reminded of the Tommy Cooper joke with him having a pair of feet either side of his neck every time I ever say it. For the past 18 months I've been forced to wear safety footwear - despite there being no real hazard in the working environment. Had four pairs trying to find a pair I can actually wear. The last pair bought I can wear, but they're far from comfortable. If it was just that simple it would be less of a problem. However, more than 25 years ago I had discs out of my back and have arthritis in my knees and what I wear on my feet impacts greatly on my general mobility and walking. Trainers with good cushioning are all I can wear really, but I'm not allowed to. As you were. |

I had an inkling that safety trainers were available somewhere ?
Don't know if they would be more comfortable though.

CAT do good safety trainers for about £40. For boots I'd go for Forma. Wenaas do a double gel insole as well which are pretty good.
On the rig I'm on my feet 12 hrs a day and in all sorts of situations/conditions. The Forma boots,so far,have been the best. I've got two pairs at home as well.
Good socks are worth buying as well.

Well, thanks for the information.
Yes. There's quite a selection of safety trainers on eBay. On my third pair but like I say they're far from comfortable with the arthritis and spine condition.
Boots aren't really an option as they are just too heavy. Will investigate insoles.
Thanks.
