Abstract Occupational accident statistics, particularly those concerning undergound workers in collieries, give indications (reproduced in the article) concerning the nature and causes of foot injuries, which are sustained principally at the level of the metatarsus. The author draws conclusions for the improvement of safety footwear: protection of the metatarsus and toes, guidance for the instep, nonslip soles. Reference to applicable German standards.
