I have been issued with slip on steel toe cap boots, which I think are exce llent and do give me adequate ankle support. My old boots had laces, and th e laces kept coming undone, no matter how I tied them. And the lace loops i f successfully tied would get caught in bits of machinery that I need to cl imb around. I also need to remove the boots easily and quickly, e.g. when g oing into the boss's office. We are not allowed to track axle grease over h is new carpet.
I have been told that some industries ban slip on boots and insist on laces . Why? Are they mad? If they want better ankle support, how about zip boots or velcro?
