Hard work suits the proper footwear. No one would ever think to operate a jackhammer while wearing bunny slippers – not only that look ridiculous, it would be dangerous. The slippers would provide no protection to the worker's feet from flying shards of concrete. Instead, one would wear a pair of quality work boots, such as those offered by Chippewa.
No matter what the work is, it is important to wear a set of boots that will not wear out after mere months of use. Constantly having to replace them would be expensive and wasteful. It is also reasonably that they would not provide much protection: anything that wears out too fast will not be able to take as much punishment while actually being used, as obvious as that sounds.
Work boots need to be rugged so that they can withstand the abuse native to any jobsite. Whether it is a construction site or working on a ranch, a lot of punishment can be aimed towards the feet, and it is important that it all be intercepted with reliable protection. This includes the comfort level within the boots.
Unnecessary blisters can be every bit the problem that an overly friendly horse's foot or a dropped two-by-four can – worse, even. None of these injuries go away in a hurry, but foot injuries caused by poor quality boots will only compound when the feet are put back into the boots the next day.
Anyone who has worn a pair of boots that were not broken in properly can vouch to the fact that cheap boots only compound any foot problems that they are there when they are put on. The best solution to this is to always spend the extra money to get a high quality pair that will serve for years to come.
