Never actually comtemplate working in shed without laceup steelcaps, the tread is also a primary concern overlooked by many. I will occassionally enter the shed sans boots, and sometimes even that bites (8x2 Red mahog falling from bench onto toe is fun, let me tells ya).

never venture into the shed without my
steel
capped boots. Expensive but worth it, I spend a lot of time in them.
and guess what..............never hurt my twinkies.I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Blundies when I'm working on-site (bloody site insurance [sigh]) and good bike-boots when riding, but barefoot everywhere else... unless management is active about some "policy." I've even signed an affadavit at the local Bunnies absolving 'em from any legal liability should I step on a nail or similar.
Why? Some 20 year ago my left foot was macheted (long story), taking out the achilles tendon and nerves. After 12 months with poor recovery I started going barefoot to provide some form of stimulation. It worked, sorta, and old habits die hard...

I've no idea what position she holds there but I've been back many times since, usually barefoot, and have run across the original door dude and floor manager several times. Nothing has been said about my lack of footwear.
I had the same problem with a few other places, surprisingly a few have even supplied a "temporary loan" of a pair of thongs for the duration of the visit! This used to be just a pub thing, but it's surprising how many places do it now. :eek: I've been assuming it's an insurance thing rather than legal liabilty... the same as for my site insurance.

Silent C - redbacks too
Redback steel caps for me in the workshop. They start out at work and when they get to old and worn they get retired to home, at last count I had 4 pairs laying around, it always makes it easy to find a pair of boots for the workshop or for mowing
