Slip Resistant Work Shoes: Find the Right Pair to Keep You Safe!
Did you know that more than a million
workers experience a slip, trip or fall in the U.S. each year, and that
about 17,000 of them die due to a slip or fall related accident? In
most cases, this could be due to not wearing the appropriate slip
resistant footwear. Unfortunately, some work environments such as in
restaurants and hospitals can be home to a variety of slippery surfaces
and if you're not wearing the right type of shoes
you could slip and injure yourself. Slip and fall injuries are serious
and often times can cause fractures, broken bones, head trauma, back
complications, incapacitation and death. Whether you're a waiter
working part time while in college or an executive chef working at a 5
star restaurant, or even a medical nurse working in the emergency room,
you shouldn't ignore the risks of not wearing slip resistant work shoes.
First of all, slip resistant doesn't mean slip proof, it just means
there's less likely a chance to slip on wet surfaces; and in order for
a shoe to be considered slip resistant it has to pass certain tests.
At HealthyFeetStore.com,
we offer slip resistant shoes that have passed all the necessary ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) requirements. Also, there are
a lot of slip resistant shoes that are poorly made. Just because a
shoe is slip resistant, it doesn't mean that it's durable and made with
quality materials. The last thing you want is for your shoes to fall
apart after a wearing them a few times; and if they're not well made
they probably don't provide good support or comfort as well. This
could be very bad for sensitive feet, especially for those who are
constantly standing or are on the go throughout the day.
At HealthyFeetStore.com, not only will you find slip resistant shoes
that have passed the ANSI requirements, but also find quality made slip
resistant work shoes with healthy features such as leather breathable
uppers, removable footbeds to accommodate custom orthotics,

and extra-depth sizes. Our slip resistant work shoes will provide
