Boots to avoid foot compaction
- Thread starter Axle
- Start date
Currently using Haix from Workwear | Safety Boots, Shoes, Trainers & Footwear | Work Boots - Brix Workwear. The Black eagle is great but ultimately the boots don't really matter if you have bad feet. Get orthotics to provide support in the right areas and cheaper boots will do the job. Only downside is professional orthotics will cost £200 plus.
Lowas do last, never met anyone who had a problem with them!?

Superfeet insoles might help.
Standing is generally bad for the feet and legs as they are designed to walk not stand. The circulation largely depends on you moving so if you're just stood there it lead to all sorts of long term problems such as varicose veins.
Are you self-employed, because if not your employer should be providing the footwear if its part of uniform.

Personally I wear 5.11 Tactical half boots very comfy and do not need to be broken in.

Steer well clear of any boots produced by Magnum...Utter shite..
Try hare:

In my opinion in the past I have worn Lowas, Meindl, Scarpa, Danner etc.
Great boots for on Ops, however they do come at a price.
If you are on static positions, light secuirty duties then Bates are a good alternative etc.
Also a quality pair of insoles and good quality loop stitch socks are a must as well.
Also good foot admin is essential too.
Just because you have a gucci pair of boots on your pegs, you also need to think about your feet.

I bought a pair or Lowa great boots. Have them 2yrs and they are being sent back for resoling at min. Great boots.
I have now got a pair of Halix Ranger boots. very comfortable and a nice sole so the 18hr days Im doing at the min are passing by with no issues. A good pair of socks, a good insole and if u need orthos. spend the money. It will be worth it in the long run.
Buy cheap buy twice. Footwear in the Security industry is a very important part of the kit. So don't skimp.
