Safety shoes

On Thursday we're doing a shoot at a local factory complex.  The regulations are as tight as an anxious bum in a horror movie - so we went to buy safety shoes at lunch today.

winning at safety.

The average shopper at Domoney Brothers is probably mid 50s, drives a dirty Hilux and wears a reflective vest more often than he wears shorts which covers his knees.  He usually orders a pair of boots for his entire team, aka the guys sitting on the back of his Hilux.  Such was the vibe I got from the cashier when one of us, who shall remain nameless, commmented "These will look good with jeans".

To highlight the build quality, there is a cross section of a boot on display.  Its an actual boot they've cut in half with an angle grinder (note the steel toe cap).

We suspect the cashier was enjoying our visit.  It was hard to tell, but much like we enjoyed our pitstop in another sub culture, maybe they enjoyed the change too.
