What Footwear Do You Wear
« on: January 18, 2008, 05:46:09 pm »
Hi All

I am mainly WFP For Upstairs on houses but have some where I have to go on Sloping Roofs, These have been a problem over the last few days when wet and I have nearly Slipped a few times.

I wear a good pair of walking trainers/shoes that I find very comfy and sturdy but dont know if anything else is better for slippy surfaces ???

thanks

Dickies rigger rubber wellies, the reason being they are very warm, comfortable, waterproof, easy to remove to go inside on properties, have steel toe caps, lots of grip and very strong, Luke



These are my dads ones

I believe the relevant kitemarks for slip resistant footwear are BS EN 345 and/or BS EN 346.  They are great for slip resistance but they do seem to attract debris onto the sole.

rigger boots are great, they are ideal to pull on and off when you do a window inside for some1

i now wear a pair of dickies work boots from wicks, they were reduced a few weeks ago and brought a pair just because i was in the store,
