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?

Hoffman boots. They have lots of steel-toed options, they're ultra durable and repairable, and they cover the entire range of weather needs. If they're not comfy enough, buy some top-end insoles.

E: And they're made in the US.

Suggestion on insole?

No, because I've never needed or used any. Visit a real cobbler and see what they recommend. It can be pricey to wear real boots but if you are on your feet to earn your living it's 100% worth it.

I abused my last pair of Hoffman winter calks for 10 winters of heavy field work before they gave out.

I suggest getting a pair of insoles that have good arch support basically you can get them anywhere like Walmart.I like the ones that have some support to the arch part of the inserts made with a bit of plastic that aren't just foam or gell. I find gell inserts to be about worthless
