Safety shoes have an average lifespan of about 2-3 years, but the actual lifespan depends on several factors, such as:

• Type of work: High-risk jobs such as construction and factory work, safety shoes will wear out faster than low-risk jobs.
• Working environment: Hot, humid or chemical environments will cause safety shoes to deteriorate faster than normal environments.
• Frequency of use: Safety shoes that are used frequently will wear out faster than shoes that are used less frequently.
• Maintenance: Safety shoes that are properly maintained will last longer.

Warning signs that your safety shoes are worn out:

• Sole wear: The sole of the shoe is worn down and thinner, which can make it easier to slip.
• Worn-out steel toe or composite toe: A steel toe or composite toe has become thinner and may no longer protect the toes from impact.
• Cracks or tears: Cracks or tears on the shoe body can cause the shoe to deteriorate and not be able to protect the feet effectively.
• Discomfort: If you feel discomfort or pain in your feet when wearing shoes, this may be a sign that the shoes are worn out.

When your safety shoes are worn out, you should replace them immediately for safe work.

Tips for extending the life of safety shoes:

• Choose safety shoes that are suitable for the job and work environment.
• Wear clean, dry socks.
• Clean safety shoes regularly using a damp cloth.
• Avoid contact of safety shoes with chemicals or oils.
• Store safety shoes in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Investing in good safety shoes is like investing in safety. They help protect your feet from various dangers. Choose the right pair of safety shoes and take proper care of them to extend their lifespan and ensure your safety at work.
