Get a decent pair of bloody boots on your feet Pete. lol
a pair of dr marten boots are £60 and are a lot more comfortable than dewalts.

every man and his dog by dickes (crap)
or dewalt aprentice boots.

ive had two different pairs of docs and the tamaracks were the most comfortable boots i have ever worn
 
Stirling cobalt boots are composite and very comfy/lightweight and wide fit ...@£40 but you'll have to shop around for this price
I would definitely recommend them had a pair each year for the last 4 years
 
Didn't have much of a choice when my blister episode occurred you wore what you were given, choices phutt
 
An ill fitting pair of boots hardly constitute a work related injury.

Didn't say they were ill fitting just said they were carp, not the choice you have today
 
was grinding.tray last year.. no glasses on and yeah you guessed it a bit of metal in the.eye.. tried for a couple hours washing it out.. ended up having to take a trip up to.the hospital as it was stuck in the colour part of my eye... havibg to watch the nurse with a needle scraping my eye ball was enough of an experience to appreciate how neccessary glasses are....

Try working in a foundry, you have to wear the issued metal splash boots. Just add to the misery the fireproofing on the overalls reeks.
