Get real leather boots. Not artificial leather (which is not leather), not rubber, not plastic -- high-quality leather. Nothing else is good for your feet. A good pair of boots that fits your feet will last you for years, and it will mold to the shape of your feet over time. Personally, I would not get steel toed boots. Steel toes are dangerous -- they can cut your toes off, in the event of an accident. Do not buy sneakers pretending to be shoes or boots. That crap made in China and Taiwan is all sneakers. Those are not real shoes. Real shoes have leather uppers. Get a man-made material sole, however, because real leather soles do not stand up to wet and will crack in a few weeks or months. Expect to pay several hundred dollars for a good pair of boots.
