are you allowed to wear safety trainers?

have you thought about trying composit boots? there a lot lighter.

thats the moat advice i can offer as i prefer heavier boots

I've never worn steel capped trainers, but if they are like normal trainers do you seriously want to be climbing ladders with no heelstop?

whats wrong with wearing decent,nice looking gear.

not my problem if you look like stepto onsite and to potential clients

Scruffs do a decent range IMO steel toe trainers, shoes and boots etc

LOL. There are many decent, reasonable work "shoes" available which don't look out of place.

Unlike the twxt I saw in TLC today in scruffy trainers, torn jeans, a nike T shirt .....

There are 3 problems I can see. 2 of them important.

1. Lack of heelstop and possible easily worn out solegrip.
2. Lack of ankle support.
3. They will likely need replacing more often.(obviously this is the non important).

i really like my haix trekker pro's.

about a year old now and still look new (after a quick polish with kiwi)

they do take about 2 weeks to break in though


here are mine

guess i should have stated that i do purely domestic work on heating. i don't care what they look like, although fluffy and pink might be pushing it.
I dislike having clumpy shoes/boots on when walking through someones house or in a loft, i'm also more agile on a ladder in trainers than boots much like wearing gloves or not, same thing.
i swear i've worn trainers about 80% of my time doing domestic works yet the only time i've gotten mud over the carpet was with boots on, seems i notice what i'm standing in/on in trainers.

not sure if it's relevant but i'm a small bloke and i also bloody hate the typical work wear sizing 'xl xxl or xxxl sir?' yeah thanks -.-

Keep to my black riggers, great in winter

I've a pair of Makita boots, which are composites and really light. What's the point of hauling more weight around than you need to?
