Work boots are protective, but they don't always provide enough support and comfort for workers. And when you’re spending all day in these boots, you want to make sure they feel good and fit you well. Uncomfortable footwear (and the resulting foot problems) can cause significant distraction for workers, which means they are focused on the pain or discomfort in their feet rather than on the task at hand. This is a serious safety concern that can lead to a spike in injuries.

The first step in finding the right fit for work boots should be to measure your foot size. It’s not uncommon for one foot to be slightly bigger than the other, and in this case you should always go with the larger size.

Work boots are designed to offer maximum protection to the feet,but it’s important not to forget about comfort. You’ll be wearing these boots day in and day out, so it’s essential that they provide adequate support and fit well enough to prevent blisters and other foot problems.

At the same time,everyone loves their old, comfortable, worn-in boots, but they'll have to be replaced regularly to ensure continued protection.
