More and more women are working in industrial, and hazardous work environments, which means that they also require good safety work boots.

Work boots that fit a feminine foot, with ample comfort features, along with all the necessary safety and durability characteristics. [super_featured_image] <hr>  <h2 class="frame">Issues in Finding Work Boots for Women</h2> Women struggle to find durable, quality work boots, especially for more hazardous and tough environments.  Women’s work boots are usually low quality, and consist of heavy and bulky materials, with ugly designs and a lack of protective features.  Even though this may be the case in many instances, there are actually work boot brands that do offer specialized work boots for women, that are better quality, with a more comfortable an lightweight design, that do have the needed safety features. <hr>  <h2 class="frame">Differences Between Men’s and Women’s Feet</h2>  In the argument of whether women could just wear a smaller sized men’s work boot, here are a few differences in men’s and women’s feet that may change your mind; [super_list] <strong>Men’s Feet</strong> - Men generally have a larger foot size than women. Men’s feet are also anatomically different to women’s feet. Men have a wider forefoot and heel and a lower arch than most women. Men’s feet are longer in length and wider in width than women's feet tend to be. Men’s sized work boots are generally two sizes smaller than women’s work boots, thus if you wear a size 9 as a woman, you would have to opt for a size 7 in a men’s work boot. <strong>Women’s Feet</strong> - Women tend to have more narrow and fragile feet, with a much smaller heel size, and higher arches than men. Women's feet are more petite and generally more sensitive than men’s feet. Women's shoe sizes are designed much smaller and on a specific last designed for women. A Last is a mold that shoe makers use to manufacture shoes for men and women, where a different last needs to be sued for women, that is mor specific to their foot shape and size. [/super_list] <hr>  <h2 class="frame">Features of a Good Skechers Women’s Work Boot</h2> [super_list] <strong>Fit</strong> - As we have discussed women’s feet are much different in size and shape to that of men. Thus, you do need to look for work boots that have a fit and design especially made for women. Women’s work boots will also come ins smaller sizes, as well as narrow, normal and wide width options. <strong>Uppers</strong> - Women’s work boots can have leather uppers that can be genuine, or synthetic. Genuine leather is the most durable and comfortable option in a work boot. More athletic and hiking style work boots may have textile and mesh uppers with leather overlays. Work boots usually come with a moisture wicking lining and may have a padded collar or tongue. <strong>Comfort and Support Features</strong> - It is important to opt for work boots that have some form of underfoot cushioning such as EVA, foam or memory foam to absorb shock and provide comfort. A more contoured or arch support footbed will also help with alignment and proper support for your feet. <strong>Safety Features</strong> - Most work boots will have at least one, or more of these features. They include a steel, alloy, or composite safety toe cap, waterproofing, electrical safe materials, and a slip-resistant outsole. <strong>Outsole</strong> - Most work boots will have a durable rubber outsole that is slip-resistant.
