Yet again I have dropped something onto my feet

while wearing safety wellingtons with steel toecaps.

And once again it has missed the steel bit and hit just

 a fraction back on the soft bendy section just by the big toe.

 It was a a piece of wood we use to stop the lawnmower moving

on the truck, 3" by 4" and 3 ft long, not really that heavy, but 

  the end has a section cut out of it for some reason ? ... making it

look like a snakes tongue, and yes it was this end that hit my foot.

  It is no big deal, just a bit bruised, but it didn't stop me working

yesterday.

   My point though is this, in the past I used to wear trainers at work,

  and during those years I never hurt my feet. I was well aware of the

dangers at all times and took precautions to keep my feet out of the

danger zones, also if I did drop something I knew I had to shift them

  pretty quickly, and was able to do this with light footwear on.

  I am not advocating that everyone stops wearing safety boots, but

sometimes I think I get complacent when I am wearing them and assume

that my feet are protected..... which from past experience is certainly not the case. 

 Do they make chainmail socks ???
