IN THE SHOP: Tools for your feet

We talk a lot about tools for the shop, mostly about tools for making things out of wood. Sometimes we talk about safety equipment. But we talk very little about one of the most important tools for anyone working in the shop: your footwear.
I’ve worn a lot of boots for working in the shop, thinking that’s the best way to protect my feet from fatigue and dropping items in the course of woodworking. Lately, I’ve been questioning if the extra weight of boots is worth it. Some new utility shoes from Keen may have weaned me off the boots.
These aren’t cheap shoes - online prices seem to run about $115 - but they aren’t the most expensive work shoes, and your feet are worth it. Learn more at keenfootwear.com.
