Shopping for shoes is not a hard task as long as you know what it is that you are looking for. Make a list of the features you want in a shoe. Remember that you are going to be wearing the shoes for the entire time you are at work – and this can be 8 hours, 10 hours, or even longer every day. Since you will wear them so often, they are going to wear out faster than many of the other pairs of shoes you have in your closet. The decision to choose wisely becomes even more important if you suffer from foot issues such as plantar fasciitis.
Pay attention to the warranty. Especially if you are spending a lot for the shoes, be sure you get a great warranty so you can have some recourse if the shoes wear thin or you develop a hole in the sole within a few months of wearing them. Some manufacturers offer a warranty of 30 days, 25 years or even a lifetime warranty. For example, Red Wing offer various warranties from a period of 30 days to upto a year depending on the type of footwear. Georgia Boot offer a range of warranties mostly ranging from 6 months to 1 year. If you want a longer warranty then go for the Dr. Martens For Life boots who have a lifetime warranty. Again, ensure these are the correct footwear for your requirements. Danner have a warranty for work boots which is generally 180 days from the purchase date of your shoes. Be sure to check all of these as they can always change.
Take advantage of sales. Since the shoes will be used for work, you know they will get a lot of use. Go ahead and buy two pairs (or more) so you have them and can alternate. They’ll last longer and won’t cost you as much because of the sale. The ideal place to start is to browse the site to give you some inspiration. Happy scouring for the best work shoes.
