Safety footwear on the highstreet?

[Jonny69]

I need some steel toes for at work. Plenty of places sell them online and in catalogues but where can I buy them on the highstreet? I really need to try them on before I buy them.

Looking for trainer style shoes with a steel toe and a nice soft sole inside because I've got a bad knee. My old DM's will cripple me in the time it takes me to burst my foot open under something heavy

Most camping supplies places usually do safety footware too.

Millets?

Places like Kent Blaxill do them.

I'd say Arco but your nearest is Orpington

 

[Perywinkle]

Build centre, onestop most builders merchants should have 'em

I'm sure I saw safety gear in Brantano when I was there recently, could be worth a ring before heading out though.

Cool, cheers for the suggestions

Millets followed by Arco (not heard of them before) I reckon.

I got mine from a camping shop.

Also take a look in the clothing department at Asda, thats where I got mine from

In Arco check the composite (in place of steel) toe caps, very light & comfortable.

Try Dewalt, Panther and Logic styles are trainer'ish.

Officers Club sell the suede safety boots - and B&Q sell the trainers thats where i got mine

good pair of steel toe caps dms are good? unless you need electric proof soles etc and steel plating?

Probably gonna be a trial error. most places wont keep them in stock

Sorry, just read the bit about trying them on first - still these are good ones.
