This safety toe test is not highly scientific and is meant to be illustrative and fun.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 60,000 foot injuries each year that are serious enough to lead to lost work days. In 75% of those cases, workers were not in compliance with their company’s safety rules.

That means many of them were not wearing safety shoes. So let’s see how much protection safety shoes offer by doing a safety toe test.

IMPACT TEST - 80% of foot injuries are caused by objects that weigh less than 30 pounds. ASTM rated safety shoes are tested to stand up to an impact of up to 75 pounds. We are going to drop a rigging hook weighing around 20-25 pounds on shoes to see what they do.

COMPRESSION TEST - Impacts are one thing, but compression from rolling objects or moving equipment is another. ASTM rated shoes have to resist a compression load of up to 2,500 pounds. In this safety toe test, we run over a few shoes with a compactor.

CHAINSAW TEST - Now, the average safety boot isn’t rated for chainsaws, but we wanted to see how these shoes would do anyway - for fun.

Don’t try to pass off regular boots as safety boots. Choose the right shoe for the job and stay safe.
