Nobody tells you how much weight your shoes add up to in a shift
I used to think dead legs by 3pm were just part of the job. Everyone on my crew did. Heavier boots mean safer feet, right?
Then I did the math. A normal safety shoe weighs way more than you'd think — around 820 grams, close to two pounds each. Multiply that by every step in a shift and you're basically doing a workout you never signed up for.
