Toe Protection
Workwear safety wellingtons, have the added benefit of toe protection. Steel toe caps and steel midsoles are available, or Composite/ Fibre Glass toe and midsole protectors if you need those.
This makes sure any heavy equipment, materials or sharp blades you are working with do not cause lasting damage to your toes and front of foot.
Watertight
Obviously this is what we buy wellies for - safety or otherwise.
If you will be working in wet or muddy conditions or performing intensive cleaning, wellington boots are the ideal option because they are purpose designed to keep your feet dry.
If you combine them with waterproof trousers and clothing, you can get to work rest assured that your comfort will not be compromised through using footwear that is not watertight.
Full Safety Footwear Features
Today's range of safety wellies go way beyond just a steel toe-cap. You can find just as many safety features on a welly as you can on a standard safety boot.
That is: Cold Insulation, Heat Protection, Anti-static, Penetration protection, Fuel & Oil resistance, etc, etc
Easy Removal
Various wellies include kick-off spurs to allow easy removal and offer the ability to keep your hands clean.
When you have been performing a deep clean of the ovens or been stood in mucky or contaminated ground all day, you will prefer kicking off your boots rather than using your hands.
Clean Look
If you need to present a clean and professional appearance to customers in an in-store bakery, butchers or other food prep area; or you need to keep a consistently clean appearance for health and safety reasons; workwear safety wellington boots help achieve.
Ease Of Cleaning
Wellies wipe clean easily, withstand cleaning chemicals and are capable of withstanding vigorous cleaning without degrading
Just like rinsing your wellington boots that you might wear in the garden or when walking the dog, workwear wellies can be cleaned quickly and easily.
Hygiene Friendly
Available in white, safety wellingtons are perfect for working in hygiene conscious settings like the food & medical industries.
White wellies allow spills and stains to be easily noticeable, helping to reinforce a culture of cleanliness in employees.
Comfortable
Workwear wellington boots are designed for proper use. Whilst a cheap pair of wellies that you might pick up for taking the dog out in the rain or watching your kids play football might not be the most comfortable, safety welly boots take a little better care of your feet.
Look for features such as "Energy Absorption" and "Cold Insulation" for a truly snug an comfy welly.
Affordable
Given the type of construction and ease of mass production - as well as their widespread popularity due to being used in a wide range of industries - safety wellington boots are very affordable.
