Francie 6,362 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm looking to get a new pair, I work indoors so they don't have to be waterproof. They'll need a steel toe, an i need a real comfy pair as I'm on my feet all day. Can anyone recommend a pair? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,376 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Look for a composite toe not a steel toe , a lot lighter and easier on the legs . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,165 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I wear a comfy pair of walking boots when I,m in places that insist on safety boots have been asked several times if they have steel toe caps and just say yes, never been questioned further (they don’t) but are comfortable to wear all day and strong enough to save my toes if I did drop something on my foot or run my toes over when I,m on the bin wagon, I do agency work 2/3 days a week in different places and have never been pulled up about them 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
