hi guys,
Im starting a new job on the 5th of october and got told at the interview that i need to wear saftey boots . What are the best ones i could buy and were from please ?
 
Does your new employer not provide them, as they are responsible for supplying PPE or have you been told to buy your own, then get reimbursed? If so have you been given a budget? Screw fix and Amazon spring to mind, you'll get something reasonable around £30 or you can go for a designer label and pay double that, also depends on what your job entails may just need steel toe capped trainers. Hope that has given a few pointers.
 
Hi,

I have a pair of "Tradesafe" work shoes. Like a sturdy trainer (anti static too.) got them from a discount shop in the workwear department. Pretty comfortable when yer on your feet all day..
I was working in engineering production incorporating electronics. Some safety boots offered by the companies may meet the criteria, but can be hell to wear.

I just bought dewalts challenger 3 and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. My work boots were killing my feet. These are like wearing slippers
They are steel capped and also through the sole
 
My company gave me £50 but there were £90. I’m over the moon with them though
