FAQs

How to make steel toe cap boots more comfortable?

To improve the comfort of steel toe cap boots, it’s important to ensure a proper fit and allow time for the boots to break in. Using high-quality insoles can add cushioning and support, while wearing moisture-wicking socks can reduce friction and manage sweat. Lacing the boots correctly to support the arch and ankle, and regularly conditioning the leather, also contributes to long-term comfort during extended wear.

How much do steel cap boots weigh?

Steel cap boots typically weigh between 1.6 to 2 kilograms per pair, depending on the brand, materials, and features. Composite toe alternatives, made from materials like fibreglass or carbon fibre, are generally lighter and may weigh around 1.2 to 1.6 kilograms, making them a popular choice for workers who require mobility and comfort without compromising safety.

What is the Australian standard for safety footwear?

The official Australian standard for safety footwear is AS 2210.3:2019, which aligns with the international standard EN ISO 20345. This standard outlines the minimum performance and testing requirements for safety shoes, including resistance to impact (200 joules), compression (15 kN), slip, oil, heat, penetration, and other workplace hazards. Safety footwear compliant with this standard must be clearly marked with the relevant certification, usually visible on the inside tongue or label of the shoe.

What is the regulation for safety shoes?

In Australia, the use of safety shoes in workplaces is governed by Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations, which require employers to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) where there is a risk of injury. Under these regulations, safety shoes must be worn in environments where there is a risk of foot injuries due to falling objects, sharp items, or exposure to chemicals and electricity. Employers are legally obligated to assess hazards and ensure that the selected footwear complies with AS 2210.3 and is appropriate for the specific risks present in the job role.

What constitutes safety footwear?

Safety footwear is defined by features that protect the wearer from workplace hazards. This includes toe protection through reinforced caps, usually steel or composite, as well as slip-resistant soles and puncture-resistant midsoles. Additional properties may include water resistance, electrical hazard insulation, or heat resistance, depending on the nature of the work environment. Footwear must comply with relevant safety standards to be classified as occupational protective footwear.

What type of shoes should be worn for safety?

The choice of safety shoes depends on the job and environment. Steel toe boots are suited to construction and heavy industry, offering high impact protection. Composite toe boots are preferred in environments where metal detectors are used or where electrical hazard protection is required. For wet or slippery conditions, footwear with high slip resistance is essential. It’s important to match the features of the shoe to the specific risks present in the workplace.
