Why Does My Safety Toe Boot Feel Like It’s Digging In?

We get this question from time to time, and we totally understand how frustrating it can be. If you’re feeling discomfort or pressure from the safety toe area of your boots, here’s what you need to know.

What’s Causing the Pressure?
Safety toes—especially composite ones—are made from a hard, rigid material designed to protect your feet. Unlike the rest of the boot, this part doesn’t flex or mold with wear. For some customers, depending on foot shape and fit, this can lead to the safety toe feeling like it’s "digging in."

What Are My Options?
We want you to be comfortable and confident in your boots. If you’re running into this issue, here are a few solutions that may help:

• Rebuild your boots without the safety toe (we can help with that)

• Purchase a non-safety toe version of the same style

• Try a larger size, which can provide more room around the toe box (we recommend testing different insoles to help fine-tune the fit and avoid too much looseness)

Still Need Help?
Our team is always here to support you. If you're unsure which option is best for your needs, reach out to us and we’ll walk you through it.

Your comfort matters—and we’re here to make sure you love your boots.
