These suggestions are suitable for both men's safety shoes and safety shoes for women.

Safety shoes can only work well in good condition

Only when safety shoes are in good condition can they protect workers’ feet from injuries. But most of the time, we do not pay attention to this issue or forget to check safety shoes regularly, then terrible result happens.

Check your safety shoes regularly
There is no specific date or time for replacing the safety shoes, but how often to replace your shoes depend upon the time how often you wear them, and the degree of damage to the shoes. In general, workers who work under heavy loads will change shoes more frequently. Safety shoes can be checked once every six months after use, and different methods can be adopted to repair them or directly replace them according to the degree of damage.

Check your safety shoes according to those tips
1. Worn shoes:
Is there any obvious damage? Like holes and tears.
Are the textures of the soles worn and smooth?
Have the shoes become loose or tight?
Are you feeling uncomfortable when you walk?
In short, is the support of the shoes not as good as before?
If any of the above happens, you need to consider changing your safety shoes.

2. Damage:
How much have your safety shoes gone through this day? For instance, has something been dropped on the protective toe of your safety shoes recently? If so, the protective integrity can be damaged but you don’t notice. You need to know that there should be no obvious dents on the toes, otherwise the protection will be weakened. Often, the impact of something falling on the toe can dislodge the toe cap without it being visible. You need to replace them in time if your shoes have had any accidents in the workplace.

3. Work environment comparison:
The time workers spend on their feet, and work needs, working conditions are all different, which cause different damage to your shoes. If you work under extreme working conditions for a long time, you may need to change your safety shoes more frequently than people who work indoors or under dry conditions.
