Getting the Most from Your Skechers Work Shoes
Skechers footwear are known for their durability and will outlast cheap imitations by a longshot.
How long do Skechers last?
That’s not an easy question to answer. It will depend on how often you wear them, what your working conditions are, and how well you look after them. Even in rough conditions, working hard every day, Skechers can last for up to years. Though, they could only last 3 to 6 months if you don’t treat them right.
It’s important to take good care of your Skechers safety toe shoes if want them to last. Here are some tips on how to get the most from your Skechers work shoes:
When is a Composite Toe Better than Steel?
Traditionally, steel toe caps have always been considered the best for safety shoes because of the high tensile strength that steel provides. However, composite materials can be advantageous in some cases.
While plastics tend to be cheaper than steel, alloy, or high-end composites, like Kevlar, they are not as tough. As a result, plastic toe caps don’t generally provide as much impact resistance as other materials.
More expensive composites can be as strong, or even stronger than steel and are generally lighter.
Probably the greatest advantage of composite toe boots is that they can pass through a metal detector without raising an alarm. If you travel for work, you know how frustrating airport security procedures can be.
Apart from airports, there are many other buildings that may use metal detectors to ensure our safety. Because composite toe safety shoes and boots are non-metallic, you probably won’t have to remove your work shoes for metal detector security checkpoints.
