How the boot program works on site

August 28, 2026

A boot program is a simple idea that companies routinely overcomplicate. You set an allowance, we fit your people, you get one invoice. That is the whole thing.

How it works

  1. You tell us the allowance per employee and any safety requirements the boots have to meet.
  2. We set up your account and build a list of qualifying styles.
  3. Your people come in, get measured, and try things on.
  4. They pay any difference above the allowance. We bill you for the rest.

No vouchers to print, no reimbursement forms, no employee fronting two hundred dollars and waiting on payroll.

Why in person fitting matters

Boot sizing is not shoe sizing, and it is not consistent between brands. A 10.5 in one maker is a 10 in another and a 10 wide in a third. Someone ordering online usually gets it wrong once, works a week in boots that hurt, and then either eats the cost or brings you the complaint.

Roughly a third of the people we fit are in the wrong width, not the wrong length. Width is what causes the pain.

We measure both feet, check width, and watch how someone walks in them. It takes about twenty minutes and it heads off most of what makes these programs annoying to administer.

Meeting the spec

If your site requires a particular rating, tell us up front and we will only show boots that qualify.

  • Safety toe: steel, alloy, or composite, rated to ASTM standards
  • Electrical hazard protection for anyone working near live circuits
  • Metatarsal guards where you need them
  • Slip resistant outsoles for kitchens, food processing, and wet floors

We keep your requirements on file, so a new hire in October gets the same qualifying list as everyone hired in March.

Billing and records

One invoice on your cycle, itemized by employee. If you need it split by department or job site, say so when we set the account up and we will build it that way from the start.

We run programs for crews of six and for companies with a few hundred people. The administration is the same either way. Uniform programs work like this too, if you want both on one account.
