Any advice on selecting safety footwear
Ive been soaking and filing my feet for the last hour and 20 minutes getting rid of hard skin I remember my dad doing this when we were kids, in front of the fire..he used razorblades, flicking it everywhere
Anyway, are there any safety boots or shoes out there what dont cause as much wear on the soles of ones feet?

It's been too long since I wore them for work to give useful current advice Mark, but have you tried 'double-lined' socks ?
I bought some from Tesco a few weeks back...recommended by a lady working there. They're supposed cut down on the rubbing, and do seem very comfy.

I used to use the trainer style toe capped ones and they were really comfortable,not sweaty at all.. I tested them out a few times by sticking my foot under passing forklift trucks and then fall to the floor screaming in fake pain..
Used to get some interesting reactions from the drivers to say the least.
Thinking back it makes me shudder at what might have happened!

Martens with steel toe caps would be handy for dealing with any undesirables you might come across during the working day

It depends what you're wearing them for and the time of year.
In winter I always preferred Rigger boots. They're not much good for driving though.
