How to Protect Occupational Shoes?
Before answering this question, it would be better to first specify why occupational shoes should be worn. Occupational shoes are produced in order to prevent any harm (falling of objects, crushes, wounds, burns etc…) to your feet or your toes where industrial and commercial activity alike take place.
While choosing occupational safety shoes, you should be certain that the leather is soft and flexible, as it should be in the shoes you prefer in your daily life. Your feet must feel comfortable when you are working… Try to choose shoes as light as possible. The ideal option is around 1 kg.
From the moment you start using your shoe, you should take special care of its cleaning and hygiene. For example; protect it from any chemical product that may be contaminated. If contaminated, wipe it with a damp cloth and store it this way.
Sharp or penetrating objects should never be used during cleaning. Necessary painting and polishing operations should be performed within certain periods.
Try to keep your shoe away from high temperatures. If it gets heavily wet, allow it to dry in a cool place.
Take care to transport and store occupational safety shoes in their original boxes.
Do not place heavy objects on occupational shoes.
Occupational shoes are more likely to be used for many years if used under appropriate conditions. Avoid damaging your shoes. Do not press on the back part, i.e. the heel. Do not use your occupational shoes outside the intended purpose. Otherwise, you may face all kinds of risks. It is useful to remind…
It is believed that shoes which are worn too tightly or heavily can cause fungus on the feet. Therefore, we should put hygiene at the forefront too. Take care to wash your feet every day. Drying after washing is also important. Choose cotton and wool socks as kind.
