Well after wearing trainer for the last four months my feet are killing me. I cant walk on the kitchen floor bare foot now because they hurt so much.

Whats good window cleaning footwear ? What you got on your feet when cleaning ?

[Chris Cottrell]

Whatever you choose make sure there saftey footwear (steel toe caps)

[stephen s]

Timberland pro are excellent and are breathable and very comfy, cost about £50 - £60 a pair but long lasting and as I said comfy

[pingu]

Meindl boots...the do cost but I never get wet feet and they are very comfortable.

Cheers
Dave.

i wear mercury  trainers but theyre like running shoes with a spongey heel .  theyve a grippy toothed sole

they were only a tenner  but iv been back to the shop to get another pair as a reserve and might go get another

during the summer i wear karrimor trekking shoe you can get them from sports direct for abouut £20 really comy and durable ,Winter time i wear karrimor hiking boot i wfp so no good for ladder work there is always bargains to be had somewhere try mandmdirect also

[karygate]

i wear walking trainers and your feet stay dry and comfortable.pick em up from sports world 15 to 20 quid.

[stephen s]

yes but are any of these other cheaper ones STEEL TOECAP ?  because if there not then you haven't got the correct footwear.

after all spending hundreds and thousands of pounds on WFP equipment and then cheap flimsy trainers to protect your feet in just don't add up.

Unless you are on a construction/building site there is no legal requirement to wear steel toe capped footwear.

Unless the legislation has changed - which I would know about and this now includes working on domestic properties there is no need.

Where do some of you guys get your thinking from.

Oh dear I've dropped water on my trainer, I will be maimed for life!! get a grip!!!.

Should we all walk round in our every day life completely kitted out in full PPE just in case something might happen. There are no footwear police wandering round - unless you do site work.

In 10 years no domestic customer has ever asked me to get off their property because I wear trainers.

Wear what you want to wear, if steel toe caps suit wear them but don't tell people they should be wearing them because that just is not correct!!

Thanks for the replys guys. Will have a loook at what you heave suggested

[stephen s]

no its not legal to wear them on domestic, I was just pointing out the reason why you should wear them,  like the window cleaner I met who dropped a ladder on his foot and broke 2 toes,    accidents do happen and as they say more accidents happen in the home and that means anyone else's home.

so smug remarks from people like you carry no weight,

people wear what they wear just that some take H&S more than others and value the protection of themselves plus they like the idea of having a long lasting and comfy pair of shoe/boots to work in.

[dazmond]

i wear the karrimor leather hiking boots all year round.waterproof,good grip for roofs and ladders and support ankles well.40quid half price.well worth it .reinforced toe as well

Summer - a light pair of aldi walking boots or trainers.
