Work
the Boots not your feet!
Steel-toe
boots
From
Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
Steel-toe
boots (also known as safety
toe boots, steel-capped
boots or safety
boots) are durable boots
or shoes
that have a protective reinforcement in the toe,
usually combined with a sole plate, which protect the foot
from falling objects and punctures from below. Traditionally made of steel,
the reinforcement can also be made of a composite material,
or
a plastic such as thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU). Steel-toe boots are important in the construction
industry and in
many industrial settings. Occupational
safety
and health legislation or insurance
requirements may require the use of such boots in some settings, and
may mandate certification
of
such boots and the display of such certification directly on the boots.
In Canada,
certified boots have a Canadian
Standards
Association green triangle
on them.
Safety footwear now comes
in many styles, including sneakers
and clogs.
Some are quite formal for supervising engineers who must visit sites
where protective footwear is mandatory.
Workboots:
A True American Heritage That Really Says It All (From The Past To The
Present)
When
you think of American Heritage you probably think of the pilgrims that
came over on the Mayflower or maybe the early settlers that carved out
a life for themselves on the frontier, and of course who can forget the
adventurous
souls that helped tame the west? And what about the early
1900s when industrialization was just beginning to come into its own?
What about all the factories and plants that shot up in the east and
northeast section of the country? Hundreds of thousands of workers
migrated from different parts of the country especially from the south
in hopes of finding better jobs; better opportunities, and an overall
better life for their families and themselves. It was a fascinating
time to be alive during the early days of prosperity for the country.
The prosperity of industries in the north and northeast soon spread
all over the country and America as a whole begin to enjoy levels of
prosperity that had only been experienced in the industrialized north
and northeast. And it became quite apparent to some inspiring
entrepreneurs that American workers needed foot wear that would help
them endure working long hard hours of hard physical labor without
their feet aching and paining from discomfort.
Entrepreneurs in Milwaukee Wisconsin as well as Red Wing Minnesota and
a number of other areas sought to design and develop footwear for men
who worked long and hard each and everyday. They sought to make the
work shoe comfortable enough to wear all day long and yet help protect
the worker from foot injuries that could be sustained in the work
place. This was the concept for the first "American Workbook" that was
specifically built to give the American worker better foot wear
designed exclusively for the work place and over the years the concepts
and designs for the American work boot has continuously evolved into
what it is today.
Modern day work boots made in America are made for practically every
type of occupation that exist. From petite office secretaries that
work in a plush setting to rugged outdoor jobs that are done in extreme
conditions there is footwear made to accommodate virtually every worker
that's part of the American workforce. There are a number of companies
in America that continue to manufacture quality footwear for the
American worker and many of these same companies manufacturer quality
work boots for Americans that work in environments and settings that
are very challenging and engaging to say the least.
Through technological advances along with good old fashion
craftsmanship American work boot manufacturers continue to create
better and more effective and efficient work boots that not only are
more comfortable to wear but also more durable and most of all these
new modern day technological wonders that are built with good old
American craftsmanship help provide a more safety oriented work boot
that helps protect the American worker in practically all environments
from the least hazardous to the most hazardous. And these same American
work boot manufacturers sell their work boots to a work force that
covers the globe. All around the world you can see workers from one
country to the next wearing American made work boots..and that's in
itself a true testament to the high quality and superior level of
craftsmanship that these companies put into their products.
Yes, the American work boot has been around for over a hundred years
and through it all it has evolved into what it is today--the foundation
that America stands on. Whether it's the coal mines in West Virginia;
the steel mills in Pennslyvania; the chemical plants in southeast
Texas; the construction industry in Atlanta, Georgia or the automobile
industry
in Detroit--one thing is for sure: the American work boot is just as
much a part of American history as the American workers that have
labored day and night to help build this great country of ours. Here's
to you Mr. and Mrs. American worker who has done your share and those
who continue to do theirs as well, and while we're at it less not
forget
those who labored day and night to provide us with a quality
work boot that would make it all so much more bearable. We salute you.
Thanks.
