Lightweight work boots for sensitive feet
Lightweight work boots: every construction worker knows it’s important to stay fully protected during the work day and what a relief it is after coming home from hours of standing up to finally take off those hefty work boots. If you feel like this is your case, you’re definitely in need of some comfortable work boots. Lightweight work boots enlighten your work whilst staying fully protected, without a doubt. Safety Jogger offers high-quality, lightweight work boots to keep the pressure off your feet and therefore strengthens your ankles and lower back.
So what makes a lightweight work boot? Every vital element in a lightweight work boot, the protective toe, outsole, midsole, upper material, lacing hardware, linings, insoles, .. contributes to the final weight of a work boot. While all of these can be various materials, the weight of a lightweight work boot is usually determined by the toe, midsole and outsole materials.
A composite toe cap is key in order to have a lightweight work boot. Lightweight work boots don't use metal to protect the foot from impact, instead they use composite materials like plastic, Kevlar, or super lightweight carbon fibre to fulfil the ANSI/ASTM safety requirements. Because composite toe caps are completely metal free, it obviously makes work boots lightweight but also more comfortable in comparison to a steel toe.

Vital features for lightweight work boots
Lightweight work boots that have the following features will be ideal for any harsh condition:
Durability
It depends on the materials that are used for the construction of safety jogger work boots. Leather and other synthetic elements are used in their making. Sometimes, these materials come with additional touches such as water-repelling or abrasion-resistant property.
The boot construction is another way to measure the durability factor. Different types of techniques are used to improve the sturdiness, flexibility, and performance of the lightweight work boots.
Comfort
Lightweight work boots are meant for wearing a whole workday. You might experience painful feet if you must stand for hours on hard surfaces. So, comfort is an aspect that you don't want to compromise. The upper material and inside lining should be durable yet soft enough to prevent blisters or graze on the skin.
Lightweight work boots with compression pads in the sole will offer proper shock absorption and reduce fatigue. In fact, high-quality lightweight work boots can give you the best comfort and protection in terms of certain physical and medical conditions such as flat feet, Achilles Tendonitis, or plantar fascitis.
Usage
Does your job involve working in construction sites where stabbing into sharp and hard objects is quite common? Do you work in an oil cleaning site where it’s required to move a lot on slippery surfaces? Or having days where mud, rubble, and wet gravel are challenging your work? In that case, you will find suitable lightweight, comfortable work boots for the best protection.
There are tons of work boots with different types of features. You must choose the right pair of work boots depending on temperature, risk factors, and other conditions of your work environment.
