01Look at what is under your foot.
For repeated steps on hard floors, compare the footbed and cushioning rather than softness alone. The boot still needs to fit securely.
DOCPODS / FOOTWEAR & FIT GUIDE
Built-in support meets a hard working surface.
On concrete floors, compare cushioning, secure fit and the sole specification required by your workplace. The right choice also depends on whether you mainly stand, walk or handle equipment.

01For repeated steps on hard floors, compare the footbed and cushioning rather than softness alone. The boot still needs to fit securely.
02Check the tested sole specification against the floor and contaminants at your workplace. Grip depends on the surface, wear and conditions.
03Compare Helium and Hydrogen boots with the lower-cut Lithium safety shoe where your workplace permits it. Match protection first, then compare how each feels.
PUT THE FEATURES INTO CONTEXT
A smooth indoor floor, a wet loading bay and a dusty construction slab can present different slip risks. Check the specified sole performance against your workplace assessment.
Try walking and turning in the boots. Check heel hold, toe room and whether the footbed feels comfortable without crowding the shoe. More padding is not always a better fit.
Use your regular socks and orthotics when checking size. Review the fit guide and individual product specifications, and seek advice if you cannot find enough room or secure support.

Use the individual product size guide and compare the listed widths. Check the fit with your normal work socks; choosing a longer size is not a substitute for choosing the correct width.
No. Match the exact product specification and certification to your employer’s requirements before ordering. Contact Docpods if a required specification is not listed.
Check the removable footbed, the depth available and the guidance from your treating clinician. An insert should sit flat without crowding the boot or changing heel hold.

Supportive footwear may help with comfort, but it is not a diagnosis or a cure. Seek individual advice for persistent symptoms or concerns about your feet.
