Safety footwear is one of our areas of expertise. Let’s face it, you only have the one pair of feet and it is important to keep those ten toes safe, comfortable and happy as you go about your daily work. The Irish construction industry and our rural farms account for the bulk of reported accidents in the workplace. Unfortunately, foot injuries are plentiful among those accident statistics. This includes dropping hammers or other heavy objects on toes, puncture injuries and slips and falls caused by non-grip shoes and boots. Sturdy footwear might just be the only thing between you and the pain of an injury, a hospital trip and time off work recuperating. Let us talk you through what we have on offer.
Steel Toed Wellingtons
A well-fitting, quality pair of wellingtons is a real blessing! Good heat retention and a water-tight outer layer with a snug fitting top are all the things a working person needs in a comfortable wellie. The funny thing is, when she fits right, you don’t think about the boots at all. But when there is a rub, a leak or your feet are freezing, it’s the only thing that you can think about!! Invest in a wellington boot of decent quality and it will pay you back every day that you pull them on to go working. Of course, it makes complete sense to go that one important step further and purchase a steel toe wellington that will offer protection from injuries and accidents in the workplace. The ultimate safety wellie boot combines the very best of safety boots with the practicalities of a wellington boot. A safety wellington has a steel toe cap, a steel midsole and is waterproof, slip resistant and easy to wear. The Techno hunter wellington is one great example. This boot is antistatic, has a shock absorbing heel, an oil/acid resistant sole and meets the SRC minimum slip resistant standard. Naturally, it has a steel toe cap and a steel midsole, and as If this wasn’t enough, it is cold resistant to -20 degrees. It’s the perfect boot for digging ditches, wet forestry work and fencing or any outside work where safety and comfort need practical footwear.
