One-time use ? This place doesn't provide those slip-on safety toe covers for temporary use ?
Would they allow these ? https://smile.amazon.com/Osborne-OG-3601-Osborn-Pro-Tek-Plastic/dp/B00CB3M3SG/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=steel+toe+covers&qid=1574297920&sr=8-12
I wear safety shoes, good quality ones so I don't have heel or ankle pain. Also, I like high ankle ones because they stop the ankle from going sideways should you step on uneven ground.
Personally, I've found Allen Copper shoes to be the best between comfort and safety at an adequate price. https://www.amazon.in/Allen-Cooper-AC-1110-7-GRY-Safety-Size-7/dp/B013V4DA2Q/
However, I know some people might find it too heavy and cumbersome as a daily commuter, so I would also suggest DC shoes: https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0185FHCOI/ I have this shoe and it has served me well without blisters or shit. When looking to buy sneakers, buy one with Cup sole, not vulcanized sole. Of the sneakers I've worn, DC and Nike have given me the best pleasure. Better spend a little more than buying cheap sparkx/khadims shit that lasts barely a year and only gives you a pain in the foot.
If there’s no way of getting out of the client now, these may very well be your new best friend.
I don't wear steel toes and I've had good luck with Muck Edgewater for low-cut (http://www.amazon.com/The-Original-MuckBoots-Adult-Edgewater/dp/B008FJR3T4) and the Muck Masters for hi-cut (http://www.amazon.com/Original-MuckBoots-Muckmaster-Hi-Cut-Boot/dp/B000WH2QAS). I had BOGS for about a year until the tread wore out way too quickly and then proceeded to crack down the back of my heel (which of course I discovered when stepping into a very muddy field). I wear them with thick wool socks year round.
Latex gloves, facemask that protects against viruses - I believe 3M makes a mask that is N95 (n95 is good but N100 is even better or you can buy a regular gas mask and then just make sure to get NBC filters), hazmat suit, BLEACH, contractor bags for waste, plastic sheeting/tarp if you need to seal your windows/doors, duct tape!!
Edited - even better than latex gloves are these
2nd Edit - don't forget to cover your shoes! You could use contractor bags with duct tape if you don't have shoe covers.
He should get a box of these.
When I got out of the Navy I used my Bellville Flight boots all leather and steel toe. so I bough theses.

You should definitely test insoles yourself. I tried Superfeet at the local running store, and ended up with Spenco instead. They're similar to superfeet but have a little more padding which works better for me (for the record, I broke my foot eight months ago and I'm still recovering, so the padding is better.) You can also get the Spenco's on amazon for about have the price of superfeet (these are the ones I have) even though they were approximately the same price in store.
I personally think the packaging is perfect. Its a skateboard... Not a trophy. I also don't believe that any of the grip tape is worn off. Pics or it didn't happen. My board has shipped across the country three times in the same box, same way it was originally packaged. I can't believe you'd complain on the internet over something that you just admitted isn't really a big deal.
Make sure to wear booties over your shoes before you step on it. Here is amazons value pack. Good luck!

Love these! Definitely giving me those sanitary shoe cover vibes

Your argument for "wearing" through booties is bullshit. Do yourself a favor a pick up a pair. I even searched for them for you.
They already make Tyvek shoe wraps for painters, thats a good point, I was thinking whole body protection.
Ive been trying to spread the tyvek suit idea around, but I could easily buy boxes of the shoe wraps in bulk to just hand out, or even just give to local shelters.
Thanks for pointing out that, I was very focused on the rain protection.
But on my mourning walks, (been walking at 5 am) the first thing I noticed was how soaked my non-water resistant shoe gets. Its annoying.
Already experiencing blistering and peeling just from walking in the mourning. So much so that I started to just go sockless for part of the walk once they get wet.
I was thinking of using sandals just to see... Its kinda silly but Im just trying to figure out solutions on my own, I really need to start talking to people that actually lived the Experience.
Heres a Link for a box of 200 on amazon with grip protection, feel free to point this out to anyone that could be interested.

Buy well-constructed boots that can be resoled easily. Welted boots are probably your friend.
Have two pairs of boots and cycle them. The soles will still eventually need replacing, and the uppers will still probably eventually wear out eventually, but a great pair of work boots should last far more than a year of wear with regular maintenance.
Bringing me to maintenance: If you're working construction you probably need to give them a good clean every couple of months, then reapply your wax/oil/preservative of choice.
For concrete work, use overboots like this or this.Something like this might help with the extreme toe wear you're experiencing (...seriously, how did you do that?). Those things will wear out, too, but in the spirit of BIFL the rubber is a lot more sustainable to replace than leather, both on your wallet and on the environment.
