Does the work include the potential for heavy items to be dropped onto their feet? Steel or composite toe boots can protect their little tootsies from tools, machinery or materials crushing their feet.
Don’t forget about those tiny bones on the top of the feet. They need protection too! The metatarsal bones break easily and take forever to heal. Protect them with metatarsal guards, either built into the shoe or worn over top. These aren’t the old armadillo type metatarsal guards, either.
