as for things dropping in the top, if Im chainsawing/strimming/grinding/soldering ( I dont weld...yet) then I Have my trousers/chaps on the outside of the boot tops to prevent stuff falling in.

Yep. I should probably have mentioned Im not a site worker so not familiar with site bans of riggers. But for me they are my day to day footwear. slip on and off, safe for all the work I do, very comfy, never really had a prob with support. And they are permitted in the plumbing workshop at college.

Trail Rat, i wasn't saying the boot was the cause of the injury. It was suggested at our safety meetings that the lack of ankle support could have been a contributory factor. We discussed what could be done to reduce the likelhood of a re-occurence and decided to try a lace up boot with ankle support and a rigger boot with ankle support. we didn't carry out a knee jerk blanket ban like many of our competitors.
That is why the boots are being trialled.Posted 5 months ago # -
Tbh I'm a chippy and they would be the last boots I'd want ,you would just fill them with shaving's and saw dust
