Rank: Guest		Posted By MickN MP (if that is you real name...) This is more unsubstantiated, uninformed, decision making. There's no proof that rigger boots are more dangerous than "regular" boots or shoes. Mick

Rank: Guest		Posted By A Campbell MP, Past experience depending on type of 'rigger boots' is that some soles are so thin they are uncomfortable when standing/climbing some ladder rungs. Also they should be correctly fitted as some enjoy loose fitting for ease of slipping on/off their feet!
