For safe feet, Kosto is there for you!

Working on construction sites, mines, or warehouses can sometimes be hard on your feet. Not only can many objects fall on your toes, but you can also lose your balance and hurt your ankle.

In fact, 8,011 workplace injuries were associated with foot and toe injuries in 2021 in Canada. It is also impressive that work-related injuries due to ankle injuries are still increasing. That’s 13,583 accidents listed just for the year 2021.

Work boots that offer you 8-inch supports are important to consider. This height helps to provide better support for your ankle.

PU and rubber soles are also a smart choice to limit accidents. Their non-slip characteristics keep you on your feet, even when floors are wet or oily.

When it comes to protecting the top of your foot, a protective toe cap is necessary for most jobs on construction sites and other workplaces. Now, many workers are opting for composite toe caps. To learn more about this choice, here is a quick video just for you!

The top of your foot must also be protected if there is a risk of falling objects. For this type of risk, metatarsal protectors are the solution!

Finally, comfort is critical, especially if you stay more than 8 hours a day in your work boots. Therefore, it is necessary to check the comfort of the boot’s inner sole and look for a breathable and light model. Waterproof protection can also be an interesting addition if you work outside regularly.

Comfort is also essential when the temperature drops, so a model with Thinsulate lining is best to keep your feet warm.

And ALL of this is available in the different models of Kosto work boots!
