Health and Safety leads most of us to think about hard hats and Hi Vis clothing, our footwear only comes into consideration for situations where steel cap toes are needed.

Did you know that foot, toe and lower leg injuries are responsible for around 9% of work injury claims in New Zealand? (ACC Injury Statistics 2001, 2nd Ed)

While you're working hard, your feet are probably working harder, absorbing up to three times your body weight as well as the impact from helping your body travel from A to B, whether in the warehouse or office building. Sore feet can lead to sore joints, muscles and even back ache. "When your feet hurt, you hurt all over." Feeling fatigued can lead to other accidents and injuries whilst at work.

Wearing the correct footwear is the first step towards preventing foot-related injuries or discomfort and fatigue during day-to-day work.
