Importance of Wearing Proper Footwear

Our feet have a very important role, yet they are often an ignored part of our body. Our feet need to work hard to bring us everywhere the moment we get down from our bed in the morning. Often times we get painful heels, blisters on our toes, throbbing feet, achy heels as well as sore calves, yet we accept the aches and pains as an inevitable part of life.  

Did you know that your muscles and joint pains could be caused by improper foot wear?  To put an end to these aches and sores, you should get the support that your body deserves, with proper footwear.  Different foot wear should be worn for different activity or surfaces. For example, mens safety shoes should be worn when working in areas where there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or slipping, rolling objects or objects piercing the sole.  One of the best places to shop for safety shoes and protective footwear is at Safetyalls.

Not too long ago, hubby slipped, fell and landed on his butt in a heavy downpour just outside his shop. He was only wearing slippers and was walking down some slippery steps.  Had he worn shoes with proper soles, the accident could have been avoided.  Something similar happened to Cass and me several years ago. It was raining cats and dogs and we were walking out of the music school towards my car. As we were walking down the slippery steps, the both of us had a near miss fall as we were both wearing slippers. 

Just recently, Cass twisted her ankle badly when she was doing some yoga mat exercises. She had removed her sports shoes and I think she must have done jumping jacks or some jumping exercises and her right foot landed on its side. The next day was Cass' Covid vaccination day and she had to be on a wheelchair at the vax centre. Two months later today, the foot is still not fully healed and she’s still suffering from aches on her foot occasionally.

Foot injuries can be debilitating, resulting in time away from work or difficulty performing a job. This in turn may affect your source of income if the injury is a serious one.  Wearing safety shoes or boots can help prevent many foot injuries.  It is therefore imperative to get proper protective footwear to protect your assets. Whether you need to shop for work boots online or high ankle shoes for hiking, Safetyalls has a great collection of safety shoes to choose from.
