Due of the highly divergent nature of the work environment, it is impossible to issue a definite lifespan on safety footwear. The lifespan of safety footwear depends on usage frequency, personal wear habits, and the environment. Regular use is recommended to prevent issues such as hydrolysis in polyurethane soles. Check the shoes regularly for damage, worn out shoes pose a safety risk and would need to be replaced immediately.
