On a job site, your boots aren’t just footwear — they’re PPE. The ERGONX Helium Work Boot is built from the ground up to keep you protected where it matters most: 🔥 Heat-resistant outsole – designed to tolerate high surface temperatures on hot concrete, bitumen and industrial environments. 🛢 Fuel & oil resistant sole – maintains grip and durability in workshop and site conditions. 🔩 Puncture-resistant protection – helps shield your foot from sharp hazards underfoot. 🦶 Slip-resistant nitro rubber outsole – engineered for traction and stability. But protection alone isn’t enough. Inside the boot, you’ve got: ✔ Podiatrist-designed arch support ✔ Motion-control heel counter ✔ Structured cushioning to reduce over-pronation ✔ Composite toe cap (lighter than steel) The result? Less strain on your feet. Less fatigue in your legs. Less aching at the end of the shift. Safety + biomechanics. Because a work boot should protect you from the ground up — and support you from the inside out. If your boots are only doing half the job, it’s time to upgrade.

Scar tissue + pressure = ongoing pain. We often see patients who’ve had previous neuroma surgery with a plantar incision (on the sole of the foot). While the nerve pain may improve, the scar itself can become a new problem. When you cut through the weight-bearing surface of the foot, the body responds by laying down thicker skin. Over time, that scar: • Builds up callus • Becomes hard and prominent • Takes more pressure with walking • Turns painful again In this case, we’re carefully reducing the plantar callus that forms directly over the surgical scar. The goal isn’t cosmetic — it’s to: ✔ Reduce focal pressure ✔ Prevent cracking or breakdown ✔ Keep the area comfortable for walking ✔ Lower the risk of ulceration in higher-risk patients Unfortunately, once a plantar scar behaves like this, there’s rarely a permanent “fix.” The tissue doesn’t remodel back to normal weight-bearing skin. So the management plan becomes maintenance. For this patient, that means treatment approximately every six weeks to keep the build-up under control and prevent pain from escalating. If you’ve had neuroma surgery and still get discomfort under the foot, it may not be the nerve — it could be the scar. Regular podiatry care can make a significant difference.

What’s the difference between our 5-inch and 6-inch work boots? It all comes down to cuff height and ankle control 👇 Both boots are built on the exact same foundation: ✔️ Podiatrist-designed arch support insole ✔️ Cushioned midsole to absorb shock ✔️ Motion-control structure to reduce overpronation ✔️ Composite toe cap ✔️ Slip-resistant nitro rubber outsole ✔️ AU/NZ Safety Standard compliant So when it comes to foot support, cushioning, and comfort across the workday — they’re identical. The only real difference? Ankle height and stability. 🔹 6-Inch Work Boot • Higher cuff • More ankle lockdown • Greater stability on uneven terrain • Ideal if you need extra support or work on rough job sites If you want maximum support and control, go the 6-inch. 🔹 5-Inch Work Boot (Low Cut) • Lower cuff • More ankle mobility • Slightly lighter and cooler • Easier for driving • Great for warehouse floors and predictable surfaces If you’re a truck driver, doing warehouse shifts, or walking 10,000+ steps a day and want more freedom around the ankle — the 5-inch is a great alternative. More mobility. Less restriction. Same podiatrist-designed support inside. If you need stability → 6-inch. If you want mobility → 5-inch. Check them both out at https://ergonx.com.au/products/ergonx-all-tan-low-cut-safety-boots-lace-up-helium and choose the boot that matches how you work.

Do you wear custom-made orthotics? 👣 Big news from ERGONX. We’ve partnered with CAD-CAM Orthotics to give you a more precise, lab-integrated fit inside your work boots. Here’s how it works: Your podiatrist can now order your custom-made orthotics to be manufactured and fitted directly into your ERGONX work boots at the time of production. That means: ✔️ True CAD-CAM precision ✔️ Orthotics integrated specifically to your boots ✔️ No trimming or modification needed ✔️ Still removable — so you can transfer them between boots if required This creates a fully integrated system — custom orthotic + podiatrist-designed safety boot — working together to optimise alignment, cushioning, and long-day comfort. If you already wear orthotics, or you’ve been considering them, this is the most accurate way to do it. Speak to your podiatrist about ERGONX + CAD-CAM custom orthotics, or Google “ERGONX custom-made orthotics” to find our CAD-CAM page and locate a podiatrist who can organise this for you. Precision fit. Professional manufacturing. Built properly from the ground up.

When we see thick callus and a corn under a plantar metatarsal head, it’s not “just hard skin.” It’s pressure. In this video, our podiatrist carefully reduces a plantar corn and surrounding callus where there’s already some tissue breakdown. When skin gets this thick under a metatarsal head, it means the area has been overloaded for a long time. What are we checking for? Ulceration. Under heavy callus, especially in higher-risk groups like people living with diabetes, there can be a hidden ulcer forming underneath. Sometimes it’s not visible until the callus is removed. That’s why careful debridement is critical — not cosmetic, but preventative. Why remove callus? • It reduces focal pressure • It improves load distribution across the forefoot • It decreases the risk of skin breakdown • It allows us to assess for underlying ulceration • It lowers infection risk in high-risk feet In diabetic patients, untreated pressure points under the metatarsal heads can progress from callus → ulcer → infection → and in severe cases, amputation. Early intervention changes outcomes. In this case, there was no ulcer present — which is exactly what we want. But we always check. If you’ve got thick build-up under the ball of your foot, especially with diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation, don’t ignore it. Pressure doesn’t resolve on its own. Prevention is always better than repair. Book an assessment and get it checked properly.

Finding workboots that actually fit — and support — makes a huge difference on long days. Ergonx workboots are designed with podiatrist-developed arch support to help control over-pronation and reduce strain through the feet, ankles, and knees.

Underfoot, a cushioned midsole and shock-absorbing insole help soften impact on hard surfaces, while a firm heel counter keeps the foot stable and properly aligned throughout the day. That combination helps reduce fatigue, improve comfort, and lower the risk of overuse injuries caused by poor support.

If you’ve struggled with narrow boots or sore feet after work, wide fit options with real support can change everything.

Foot pain in your work boots? There are two simple things you can start doing from home that make a huge difference. First — wear supportive, cushioned work boots. Podiatrist-designed ergonomic boots help support your arches, absorb shock, and rest your feet over the workday so they don’t have to work as hard. Second — stretch your calf muscles daily. Tight calves increase strain through your heels and arches. Stretching in the morning, afternoon, and before work helps improve mobility and reduce foot pain. We use our Warm-Up for Work exercise program with patients to help get feet and legs ready for the day before they hit the job site. Support your feet. Warm them up. Your feet will thank you by knock-off time. 👉 ergonx.com.au

Sometimes corns can look really bad — thick, yellow, and built up — but that doesn’t always mean they’re deep or painful. In this case, we’re removing corns from a PMA5 area. Once the overlying callus is carefully reduced, you can see that the core itself is quite superficial. Because it’s not deep, it’s usually not very painful for the patient. These types of corns are often caused by pressure and friction rather than a sharp bony prominence underneath. With proper debridement and pressure management, relief is usually quick and straightforward. It’s a good reminder that appearance doesn’t always equal severity — and why proper assessment matters before assuming the worst.

If you’re getting heel pain first thing in the morning, that’s a big red flag 🚩 It’s usually a sign that: • Your work boots aren’t supporting your feet properly • Your calf muscles are tight and overloading your heels overnight In the podiatry clinic, this is one of the most common patterns we see. How we fix it 👣 First, we get people into podiatrist-designed arch support work boots that actually control how the foot moves. Supportive boots help limit excessive rolling in of the foot, which reduces stress and strain through the heel, arch, knees, and legs. ERGONX work boots are: • Australian Safety Standard approved • Lightweight with composite toe caps • Built to support your feet so they work less hard across the day But boots are only half the solution. About 50% of heel pain is tight muscles, especially tight calves. That’s why we also get you: • Stretching your calves • Warming up your feet and legs before work We’ve even put together a simple warm-up worksheet you can follow before your shift. If heel pain is slowing you down in the mornings, don’t ignore it. Support your feet properly and loosen up those calves. 👉 Get the warm-up worksheet and check out our arch support work boots at ergonx.com.au
