Is it alright to wear steel toed work boots on a plane in the USA?

with 2 comments

Work boots with the steel toe inside. I’m sure they would set off the detector, but you have to take off your shoes anyway right? Will they ay it’s some kind of weapon and not let you on board?

What's the best way to wash steel-toed boots?

with 2 comments

I work 8-10 hours in a hot warehouse, so it’s safe to say my boots soak up a lot of sweat. You know what that leads to, and I doubt my steel-toeds are safe for the washer and dryer. So what’s the best way to wash the sweat and stink out of them?

How to extend the longetivity of steel toed boots?

with 4 comments

I recently purchased a black pair of leather steel toed boots and work in a mine environment, mostly in an office but with several hours out in the pit near the blast holes where there will be some fine grain sand from drilling.

How can I make these 90 dollar boots last long?
I have to wear them. I could get a fine from MSHA (part of OSHA) for not wearing them, and could get fired by my employer for it – they are extremely serious about safety.

Can boots be altered to become steel toed?

with 6 comments

I am going to need some steel-toe boots for a job coming up; I have some sturdy boots but they are not steel-toe. To avoid the expense of buying a whole new pair of boots, I thought perhaps I could go to a shoe repair shop near my house. Would such a place be able to add adequate protection to my boots?

Are steel toed boots okay for street motorcycle riding?

with 6 comments

I remember my dad saying something about steel toed boots but I forgot =\ I went and checked out all the stores and got a pair with good ankle support but they also have steel toes. Would this interfere with the shifter or anything? I figure if anything my dirt bike shoes have the steel toes too. Any opinion?

Is there any company that does not make steel toed boots out of leather?

with 4 comments

I have been in the construction field for 4 years now and I have not been able to find a pair that is animal-friendly. It sucks because my steel toed boots are the only leather/suede/silk thing that I own.
