Reproduced MMR 182  below
182. Use, Supply maintenance of protective Footwear. – (1) No person shall go into, or work in, or be allowed to go into, or work in, a mine, unless he wears a  protective footwear of such type as may be approved by the Chief Inspector by a general or special order in writing.
            (2) The protective footwear referred to in sub-regulation(1) shall be supplied free of charge, at intervals not exceeding six months, by the owner, agent or manager of a mine, who shall at all times maintain a sufficient stock thereof in order to ensure immediate supply as and when need for the same arises. Where a protective footwear is provided otherwise than as aforesaid, the supply shall be made on payment of full cost.
 
            (3) The owner, agent of manager of a mine shall provide at suitable places in the mine dubbing and revolving brushes or make other suitable alternative arrangements for the cleaning of protective footwear by the persons using them. It shall however be the responsibility of the person supplied with the protective footwear to arrange the repair of the same at his own cost.

It is to be borne in mind that shoes mentioned here should meet the requirement (earlier DGMS approval)
In practice most of the mines against steel toed canvas shoes costing may Rs 500/- that carry DGMS approval  supply high quality shoes costing about Rs 1500/- or more .
In many cases by arm twisting shoes by management  are issued at shorter intervals and find their way to open market

Dear friend, 

As per statute, mine management has to provide PPE (mine shoe) to the employees free of cost at the intervals of 6 months. 
Unless , special permission given by DGMS, mine shoe cannot be used beyond 6 months duration. 

Best wishes,
Katlasudheer
