Choosing the correct footwear

2nd April 2015

The importance of the correct safety footwear is paramount within construction for protection against hazards on site and long term injury. OnSite Support are relentless about health and safety, with health being the focus for 2015 within the industry, our safety boots have carried out 50 independent checks before they leave the factory.

Cushioned and easy to wear, our boots are flexible for driving back and forth to the supply yard and tough enough to park a pallet of bricks on. With ‘no hook’ eyelets to avoid snagging and slip resistant soles they’ll keep you on your feet.

Full strength footwear benefits include:

Comfort fit, perfect balance, naturally flexible and anti-slip traction.

So what is in a good boot and what to look out for?

The Uppers
Crafted from quality leathers or technical meshes with multiple stitching and high tensile threads.
The Toecap
Our composite toecaps are lighter than steel and thermally insulating, without compromising your safety.
The Footbeds
Shock-absorbing footbeds support and cradle the foot and can be replaced for hygiene and comfort.
The Shanks
In either steel or nylon. Incorporated to protect against lateral twisting and reduce fatigue, ensuring that the footwear flexes in the correct place at the ball of the foot.
Protective Midsoles
Inflexible steel or ballistic fibre. Provide protection against the penetration of sharp objects.
Cushioned midlayer
Full or air bubbles to provide shock absorption and energy return.
The Soles
