What men's steel-toed shoe have you found is most comfortable?

with 4 comments

Preferably leather, not mesh. Any of the following styles will do: standard work shoe appearance, boot or or non-mesh running/tennis shoe-style. Non-mesh, because the management here doesn’t want anything that is flammable. I am an engineer and I am out on the shop floor 50% of the time vs. at my desk.

How do I get rid of the pain from wearing steel toe shoes? Why is steel toe shoes hurt my feet so bad?

with 6 comments

I need some suggestion of how to get rid of the pain from wearing steel toe shoes that I had to wear at work. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. It is stiff than a regular tennis shoe. I tried the "shoe insert/cushion" and it didn’t help. What can I do to stop the pain?? I thought "work shoes" suppose to be comfortable?? Help please and thank you for all answers.

Sounds dumb but buying socks taking me broke: how do you prevent steel toed shoes from wearing holes in toes?

with 4 comments

No matter what I do (thick socks, reinforced toes, cotton nylon vs. cotton only, etc) my steel toed safety shoes wear a hole in my socks on BOTH feet in the big toe area. I’ve even tried tennis shoe style steel toed shoes (to see if shoe style/type made a difference) and the same thing happens. Is it something you just live with (like dropping toast and having it land butter side down on the floor) or is there a solution? And, no, I do not have long toenails (gross) – I keep them short and maintained. I’ve talked with co-workers and they have the same problem but didn’t think anyone else did so lived with it in silence. This is getting expensive in that it occurs rather fast and so you really get no life out of the socks before they need repair; or need to be pitched. Until I was required to wear them I didn’t know there could be a problem with safety boots/shoes besides additional weight.
