Hey all. I started a new job where steel toed foot wear is highly suggested. It's standing for 8 hours every day, in various weather conditions. I have foot issues, and my usual go-to shoe has been a Sketchers Walking shoe with an extra Dr. Scholes pillow insert. I had two pairs of steel toe shoes (Sketchers work boot, and new Balance work shoe), but both leave my feet bruised by the end of my shift and leaving me barely able to walk. Any suggestions on a steel toe offering that has SUPER amounts of foot plush?

Are you going to be working in extreme hot or cold?

You might want composite toe instead of steel toe if so.

That. Steel toe will transfer the cold right to your feet. It makes for a miserable work day.

Well, the coldest I've seen here so far is -10. The summers are not desert hot at all.

Go for composite toe, or get really good socks. Steel toe will numb your toes pretty fast in cold weather.

Could be a rumor but I heard if a major weight incident landed on your foot then steel toes will shear your toes off. Probably some marketing gimmick but I wear composite.
