Historically accurate 1870s protective footwear

  • 1.  Historically accurate 1870s protective footwear

    Posted 05-27-2016 09:49 AM
    One of our sites for the Minnesota Historical Society is an 1870s living history farm with live animals  and we are trying to identify vendors who manufacture historic footwear that meets OSHA CFR 1910.136 regulation for foot protection. I am struggling to find any vendors that provide this product. Has anyone else encountered this challenge and have any advice? How do historic living history sites with animals address this employee safety need? Are there any manufacturers anyone would recommend? 
     
    Appreciate any guidance,
