Whenever you have the chance, visit Georgia Underground Superstore and try on work boots before purchasing. This ensures they fit comfortably and provide the support you need. A proper fit not only enhances comfort but also helps prevent foot fatigue and injuries..
Why Foot Measurements Matter
Wearing properly fitted work boots is essential for foot health and overall body alignment. Follow these key tips for getting the right fit:
-
Your foot size changes over time, so measure your feet every time you buy new boots. Don’t assume your size remains the same.
-
Most people have slightly different-sized feet—always fit your boots to your larger foot.
-
Feet naturally expand throughout the day and in warm weather, so try on boots in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
-
New boots should fit well from the start—don’t count on them stretching over time.
-
If you have wide feet, check the width measurement. Steel Blue boots in the U.S. are available in both medium and wide widths.
Expert Boot Fit Tips from Physiotherapists
To ensure maximum comfort and support, consider these recommendations from the Australian Physiotherapy Association:
-
Wear the right socks – Always try on boots with the socks you plan to wear daily. This helps ensure an accurate fit.
-
Try on both boots – Don’t just test one boot. Walk around in both to get a true sense of their fit and comfort.
-
Simulate real work conditions – Move, bend, and walk as you would on the job to assess comfort and mobility.
What to Check When Testing Work Boots
While trying on boots, pay attention to the following factors to ensure a proper fit:
-
Your heel should not rub against the back of the boot.
-
Your foot should not slip or lift out of the boot.
-
Your toes should not touch the front of the boot or steel toe cap—there should be about a centimeter of space.
-
The boot should flex properly at the ball of your foot.
-
You should not feel any discomfort or pressure points.
-
If you require extra width for comfort, opt for a wide-width boot.
Steel Blue’s Commitment to Comfort and Protection
Steel Blue work boots are designed with comfort and durability in mind. Their Trisole® Comfort Technology cradles and supports the foot while reducing strain on your ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
Each pair includes Steel Blue’s Ortho Rebound® Footbed, which molds to your foot for enhanced arch support and reduced fatigue—helping you stay comfortable throughout your workday.
Work Boots Designed for Women
Steel Blue recognizes that men’s and women’s feet are structurally different. That’s why they offer work boots specifically designed for women, featuring:
-
A shorter ankle length for better comfort.
-
A smaller instep to improve fit and support.
The Importance of Socks for Boot Comfort
Choosing the right socks can significantly improve your boot-wearing experience. Here’s why they matter:
-
Keep feet dry and warm, reducing the risk of athlete’s foot.
-
Prevent blisters by reducing friction between your foot and the boot.
-
Absorb sweat, preventing moisture buildup and odors.
-
Provide extra cushioning for added comfort.
