Science has proven that lighter and more flexible boots are safer, not just more comfortable. A National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health study published in Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society found that:
- Lighter weight boots require less work by firefighters;
- More flexible cement construction boots require less work by firefighters; and
- More flexible boots result in less trip and fall accidents.
