Safety shoes really make my feet uncomfortable!

Thread Content

Thick safety shoes are meant to protect the feet, and they are required to be worn in summer as well; yet they are airtight and thick – what does this have to do with providing protection at all? It’s just meant to cause suffering. It would be great if we could install an air conditioner on our feet; what else can we do? Take off your shoes when you get to the workshop; it smells awful. . . . . . Do everyone else feel the same? . . . . . . . . . . .

When you are in the workshop, you should wear protective shoes; otherwise, what if an accident occurs? It’s better to be prepared for anything.

But that’s way too much foot covering. . . . Isn’t there something better?

My feet are relatively large; what’s worse, they’re both wide and high, to the point that shoes size 44 still fit poorly. . . . . I hadn’t worn safety shoes for a while, and I stepped into a puddle of sewage. . It has a strong smell; one must wash socks and insoles frequently. There’s another trick: when you get off work, put a piece of soap (a bar of soap will work as well) in the shoe cavity.

There’s nothing else to do but endure it; the managers can wear them symbolically a few times, but the employees have to be on site. For safety’s sake, wear it. But I wonder, with all that money available, why isn’t a pair of shoes designed for employees created, one that truly takes their needs into account?

Spray some alcohol on the shoes when they’re not being worn. In the laboratory, you can obtain anhydrous ethanol and dilute it there before spraying it inside the shoes~~~

That’s just the way these shoes are; their breathability isn’t very good. Put some sulfanilamide in them to eliminate the odor.

Reply to 1# Guan Gongyu: Safety shoes are too heavy, which puts a strain on one’s foot strength :(

I feel the same; here too some people have their feet rubbed raw until they bleed. There’s nothing to do about it – after a while, they just get used to it

75% alcohol is sufficient; spray some alcohol on new shoes before wearing them to prevent odors as well

It’s better to feel uncomfortable now than to suffer in the future;* you’ll get used to it.
