[TheForge] building a new shop/shed

[Jerry Frost]

As I've related many times my shop floor is concrete 
with infloor hydronic heating and 2" sq. receiver 
tubing gozintas on a 4' grid. The gozintas are 
connected under the floor to an air exhaust system.

Standing and working all day on concrete can cause 
foot, leg, knee, hip and back pain but there's a pretty 
sure cure and that's good boots. There are two I know 
of that work quite well.

The first and my favorite are custom made work boots. I 
own two pair of White's and have never experienced 
foot, leg, etc. pain while wearing them. They're pretty 
expensive but compared to living with daily pain 
they're dirt cheap. http://www.whitesboots.com/

The other is Zcoils http://www.zcoil.com/ These have a 
stiff spring built into the heels and take the shock 
out of walking on concrete floors. I have a pair of the 
work boots found here. 
http://www.zcoil.com/products_styles.html I prefer my 
White's but these keep me from hurting too.

Lastly there are the foam soled shoes and boots like my 
Redwing slip ons and they're okay for short term, say a 
couple days or so.

So, from my perspective if I can work on it without 
hurting myself give me concrete any day. I don't like 
dust, mud, losing stuff, not being able to sweep the 
floor, having to relevel it, not be able to draw on it. 
etc. etc.
