Construction workers make up a large proportion of the global labor force, they mainly include cement workers, bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, road repairers, house builders, house fitters, etc. With the exception of a few special jobs, most construction workers work for long hours. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 80% of construction workers work for 10 or more hours a day. Hence, construction workers who work for more than 10 years might have a lot of chronic foot diseases in the future. Due to these reasons, it is very important to choose a pair of appropriate safety shoes for workers' physical and mental health.
When workers choose their own safety shoes, they can either receive some from the foreman who distributes some uniformly, or others are purchased by the workers themselves. Regardless of the source, how can these construction workers choose a pair of safety shoes that are suitable for them? It mainly includes the following points:
1. Choose the right size, if it is too big or too small, it will be detrimental to foot health.
2. Choose the correct degree of thickness. Each worker has a different foot shape. Safety shoes on the market mainly include 2E, 3E, and 4E of different degrees of thickness. Too thick or too thin won't be suitable.
3. Safety shoes should not be too heavy, if the safety shoes are heavy or huge, then it means that the whole body needs to bear more pressure when the worker is walking.
4. The safety shoes sole should not be too hard, especially the forefoot position, because this can cause great damage to the arch of the foot.
5. High-quality insoles, especially elastic ones, can effectively reduce the impact on the ankle and knee joints when walking.
