After trying both, here is my opinion...a) heel straps work good if you use them and if you use them on both feet. People put one leg up while working a lot and then your not grounded. They are cheap, wear out a lot and people forget to use them or not put them on proplerly. b) foot wear, shoes or boots are expensive, a pain to set up for people to get the right size, etc. especially if you have a shoe truck come in. But, you realy should not wear the same shoes every day, and the most important fact, the shoes get the foot hot and sweaty (that's the way they work) and people don't like them for that reason. If they take the shoes home and don't wear them the next day, then you need straps, there are other negatives. But, they work good. Therefore, as straps work good, and if you police the practice, that's the better way in my opinion. *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
