Is it safe to wear steel toed boots?
I’ve entered a police explorer program and I need to bye boots as a part of my uniform. I was told by my captain not to wear them because if I’m out on the street directing traffic or something and someone runs over my feet in a car then the weight of that car will cut my toes off.
Is that true or not?
But I heard that they do protect you; for instance, my dad when he was a policeman said that he was moving a washing machine while wearing steel toed boots and it fell and he didn’t feel a thing. Also, I think the chances of a car running over your toes is very minimal and the chances of anything else hitting your feet (that steel toed boots could protect you from) is high. What do you think?
