How to Choose the Right Work Boots

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Matt Behnke

iStock_000005457638_LargeFinding the right shoes is important for everyone no matter if you are looking for athletic, dress, or diabetic shoes. It is also incredibly important for those looking for excellent work boots to do things such as construction. If your job involves construction or heavy work, or, if you plan on doing major construction on your home, you will need to choose the right work boots for the job to protect your feet completely. This blog is going to take a look at what you need to look for in order to choose the right work boots for you. 

  1. Know the Type of Work Boot You Need

One of the first steps to helping you choose the right work boots is to make sure you know what type you need. The type depends on the work you plan on doing, and you need to make sure you get the correct ones. There are regular, tough leather ones that might be all you need, or you may need one that is steel-toed with other safety features, which we will look at later. 

  1. Choose a Boot That Fits Your Foot

You will also need to make sure the boots fit when you choose the right work boots. You do not want a boot that is too tight, or that pinches your feet or toes. You also do not want a boot that allows for your foot to move around too much. Try on several different types if you are not sure of your size or get your feet measured to make sure you know what size you need before ordering shoes. 

  1. Purchase Orthotic Work Boots

When you purchase work boots, you should consider choosing orthotic boots. These will not only be great for your task or job, but will also help provide the support you need. This will provide all around comfort and protection while also helping keep your body aligned and healthy. You will notice significantly less pain by the end of the day if you wear orthotic work boots. 

  1. Choose the Right Work Boots by Looking at Safety Features

To choose the right work boots, you need to look at all available safety features to ensure you are getting the boots you need. Once you know the environment you will be working in, look for safety features such as thick soles, steel toes, outsole grips, and preparation for electrical resistance if necessary. When you look for boots, you can also look at different types of toe guards such as steel, composite, and aluminum. Know which one you will need to protect your toes the best. 

  1. Figure Out if You Need Weatherproofing for Your Boots

When you choose the right work boots, you need to know if you need them to be weatherproofed or not. It is a good idea to have weatherproofed boots if you will be working outside for your job or working on your home. This will help protect your feet and keep them dry, which will help keep them healthy.
