Do I need steel-toe or composite-toe shoes for work?

When a heavy or large object is dropped on your foot, steel-toe shoes provide you with more protection than composite-toe shoes. They also tend to be less expensive. However, composite-toe shoes are lighter in weight and tend to be more comfortable, especially if you stand for long periods. Because they don't have metal in them, they're popular with people who work with electricity, like electricians, and people who spend a lot of time going through metal detectors. They're also ideal for outdoor work because they're breathable enough to wear in any temperature. Always check with your company's policy before making a decision.

What is the best way to wash my scrubs so that they last longer?

To make your scrubs last longer and ensure they're disinfected, turn them inside out, and wash them in cold water. Use a strong detergent, and consider adding half a cup of white vinegar to soften the scrubs and remove any odors. To make them last even longer, air dry them, or use the lowest heat setting on your dryer.

What kind of socks should I wear with work boots?

The socks you wear with work boots should be thick and have some cushioning, but they should also be breathable. Consider fabrics like cotton or merino wool. You'll also want to look for a sock that wicks away moisture, especially if you work outdoors or you're prone to sweating. Finally, consider a sock that comes up over the top of your boot, so that the boot doesn't rub against your leg.
