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?

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.
