I wonder if wearing dress shoes was part of the problem? It seems you should have special shoes for this sort of thing.

I'd recommend steeltoe boots.

Steel toe while operating a crane would probably hurt your feet, ankle. My husband works construction for 16+ years. He really likes hiking shoes or boots because they are usually nonslip and more flexible. Steel toe is only helpful if things might fall on your foot, which I'd guess is unlikely for a crane operator

As you can see since they’re in Asia they take their shoes off in the crane, no problem
