If you are a regular in the world of construction boots, you are likely to experience hours of discomfort or pain while wearing them. Most work boots are built for protection (and they do a great job) first, but not for comfort, performance, or general health.
According to a recent survey by the Harvard School of Public Health, 75% of construction workers experience chronic pain in their legs, knees, or lower back, all of which are triggered by their feet. In addition, the retail industry takes fewer days off than most. It’s a strenuous job for the mind and body, and the shoe industry hasn’t fully absorbed it yet.

Enter the new CAT EDGE. These boots are available for pre-order today and are designed for performance, much like a sneaker. They are directly aimed at relieving lower body pain and fatigue. You see, when you wear the wrong footwear, the body is great at overcompensating for the extra work, and that fatigue can lead to a host of other health problems. Think about it, if you wear the wrong sneakers for long distances, you will likely get injured somewhere on your body the next day. And if you mess with an injury without healing it (when construction workers go back to work the next day), that’s another whole story.
Most workers don’t associate their pain with shoes, but just like a basketball sneaker, work boots should aid in proper movement for the job at hand. In this case, on uneven terrain, it is lifted, rotated, rotated and bent. Technically, the wide, fully ground metatarsal contact in the new CAT EDGE reduces ankle rotation and stress. The ergonomic insole supports all three main arches of the foot. These boots also prevent incorrect stance by providing additional stability by always being in full contact with the foot.
The technology in these Cat Footwear work boots is actually a complete method that works together and is known as the “CAT EDGE 5 Point Injury Prevention System”. These include a rounded heel that mimics the shape of the foot, an outsole with full contact to ensure stability and alignment on the leg, a split shaft that allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot, flexible grooves in the outsole and insoles with multiple contacts for superior comfort and support.
Dylan Vizy, Design Director at Cat Footwear, says, “We really focused on making the shoe look more like a sporty product than a typical work boot. [The CAT EDGE boots] are the most anatomically correct and biomechanically best considered, ”he says. The system mimics the natural movement of your feet and at the same time offers the greatest possible protection, a non-negotiable cat footwear footwear.
It will be interesting to see how the injury rate changes in the next study as more field workers get their hands on these boots. Until then, this outdoor footwear can save pain, discomfort and fatigue in the lower body in the field. They could just be your new favorite “sneakers”.
