Hitting a brick wall on this one, we have a warehouse man with hallux rigidus (big toe is stuck in one position) due to arthritis, his orthopaedic specialist has recommended particular shoes with a rocker sole to help mobilise the toe.  He spends most of his time on his feet at work and his current safety boots cause him considerable pain so I would like to find him some suitable safety footwear but I'm drawing a blank.  I can get our OH provider involved but I need to have something to go to them with to get the ball rolling, any body got any ideas?

Dave you are a star - I'd never heard of them before - now I can have a dialogue with the consultant and our OH team with some prospect of progress.  Thank you
