Working long hours, run after run, takes a toll on your feet. Do your feet slide around in your boots or are they kept intact? A comfortable boot is essential to safety on the fireground, because when your feet hurt, you can lose mobility and stamina.

We’ve partnered with a leading North American fire boot manufacturer, The Shoe Technology Company (STC), to take an inside look at their facility where they show how they build boots – from the inside out. Check out this short video illustrating how they keep firefigher’s feet comfortable with their Lock-Fit Ankle Support System™ that provides anatomical ankle padding ensuring the foot is securely positioned within the boot.

Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of videos taken at STC, giving you a quick insight into the quality construction behind their firefighting boots.
