Top 3 Lightweight Footwear for Safety on the Worksite
Any employee working in construction or any industry that requires wearing safety shoes in NZ knows the importance of wearing comfortable lightweight work boots. Wearing hefty work boots isn’t the most ideal situation when working under harsh conditions. And if you find yourself dragging your feet at work, it may be time to make a footwear change. Wearing high-quality lightweight work boots helps reduce the pressure off your feet, ankles, and lower back so you can work comfortably and safely. Here are our top four lightweight footwear picks that keep your feet fully protected while keeping you comfortable as you work.

Lace-up safety boots are classic work boots with a lace-up design that ensures a more secure fit. The Work Force Terra lace up safety boot is made from buffalo split leather, a light yet enduring material to ensure comfort and protection. It has a steel toe cap, PU sole, and padded collar for extra comfort and ankle support. Most importantly, it’s lightweight, allowing you to move around more flexibly while keeping you safe from hazardous work environments.
Waterproof Gumboots
Unlike regular safety boots, some options are much lighter but offer the same, if not better, foot protection. Gumboots are one of them. You can wear them in a wide range of applications where comfort and protection are required from water and other liquids.
