Easy Steps to Wear Safety Shoes

Wearing safety shoes for foot protection is different from wearing any regular shoes.

So, don’t be surprised that many workers are still unaware of the proper way to wear safety footwear.

Therefore, here are some simple steps you can follow to appropriately wear safety shoes.

Step 1: Dry your feet and socks

Moisture and comfort don’t go hand in hand.

You want to avoid any type of wetness getting into the shoes, as this can cause discomfort and irritation.

Thus, prior to putting on your safety shoes, ensure that your feet and socks are completely dry.

Step 2: Put on your socks

Now, you can put on your socks. Remember to stretch and smoothen out any folds.

Additionally, a good sock to wear with safety shoes is also another factor for comfort.

Polyester, bamboo, or wool socks are better choices than cotton.

It is because they don’t absorb as much sweat as cotton does, leaving your feet damp.

Step 3: Wear the safety shoes

Before getting into your safety shoe, check the insole.

Make sure it doesn’t shift from its position. If it does, simply adjust it to the correct position.

Once your feet are in, move your feet into the toe area. Your toes should fit snuggly.

If you feel cramped in that area, the safety shoe is likely too small for your feet.

Step 4: Move your feet back and forth

Next, carefully move your feet back and forth to allow the insole to get in position with the anatomy of your feet.

Step 5: Tie the shoelaces

The last step is to securely tie your shoelaces so that they won’t untangle easily.

However, you don’t want to tie them too tight so as to not affect blood circulation.

Most importantly, you should never wear safety shoes with the shoelaces untied.

Your feet won’t be fully protected and you may trip on the shoelaces which can cause injuries.
