When performing overhead welding what additional safety equipment should be worn in order to protect the legs and feet from falling molten metal?

When welding one should always wear certain clothing. Leather boots (steel toe desirable), work pants (such as jeans) that cover the top of the boots, heavy cotton long sleeve shirt, welding beanie, gloves, and safety glasses. In most instances these items will protect you from sparks and weld spatter whether you are welding on a flat, vertical or overhead surface. A leather jacket can be worn to protect your shoulders and arms. Molten metal should not be falling if you are welding correctly. If you are sitting, while welding, a leather apron should be used.
