These are easily the best shoes I've ever put on my feet. They meet every safety standard I need them to, and I would tell you there's no steel toe in them if I didn't know any better, since not once in the two pairs I've owned have I felt the steel on my foot. There is extra room in the toe of the shoe, allowing for me to do my work and move around as I please, without having to worry about blisters and bent toes after a long day. These are the kind of boots that somehow give me extra energy because of how comfortable the sole is on my foot. Even after 12-30k steps a day, these are still the most comfortable shoes I will ever wear, and I've even had high quality running shoes with custom inserts.
