5. Comfort: how do I avoid sore feet and tired legs?
When you work in the food processing industry, you often wear your work wellies all day long. So they need to fit just as well as a comfortable pair of shoes, because you don’t want to end up with sore feet and tired legs at the end of or half-way through your working day.
We mentioned above that our Bekina Boots work wellies are 40% lighter than rubber or PVC wellies. This makes your legs less likely to get tired and makes your working day a lot more enjoyable.
The removable insole also provides extra comfort for your feet. The sole feels soft and provides good shock absorption. Do you need to replace your insoles, but your wellies are still in good condition? Then you can just replace the sole.
The feel of the wellie around your calf is also very important. This should not be too loose, but not too tight either. The shaft of the Steplite EasyGrip is slightly narrower, making it one of the most popular work wellies for women. Men with wider calves may prefer the StepliteX SolidGrip, StepliteX ThermoProtec or Thermolite IceShield. Their wider shaft is also perfect for those who wear several layers to protect themselves from cold temperatures. This way, your socks, trousers, overalls, etc. don’t pinch in your work wellies and don’t cause discomfort.
Finally, the kick-off spur at the back provides extra convenience when you need to remove your wellies during a break or at the end of the working day.
