Hearing men talk about shoes (ok boots but they are a subset of shoes), creates psychic dissonance!
My wardrobe is nothing to brag about.

My shoe and boot collection is one place I don't skimp.

The Red Wing Steel Toes I have now are the most comfy I have ever worn.
Before I would change into sporting shoes as soon work was over.
With these I may wear them several hours after getting home only because
they don't bother me. I forget I have them on.

They are truly comfortable.

I spent my life in extremely expensive running shoes. I was always on the hunt for comfortable shoes. I had a few pairs of cheap heels I wore for a few hours at a time. But running shoes for work were my Achilles heel.

Red Wings are the only footwear I've been able to put on new in the store, wear daily from there on out and never, ever, be uncomfortable in them. It's funny, but i remember the first time I tried them on, maybe a decade ago, it was like cloud angels hugging my feet. Within a week after buying my first pair I realized many of my leg and back pain was because of cheap ass footwear. Now, I always tell people to spend the money on good shoes. It always surprised me how many people think $100 is expensive for footwear. :roll:

Where I grew up, the local Chinese food place paid us $5 a bucket with anything we caught in it. Fish, frogs, turtles, crayfish, eels... didn't matter. The big score was carp, we'd get $20 for a big one. They always said they used it at home for their family's fish stew, but I always wondered. I didnt really care, I still ate at the place, the food was good. At least I knew it was probably fresh..:mrgreen:

Link the style and model if you don't mind.

By looking this up it is discovered these are actually Aluminum Toe and considered an athletic style.

Don't know if that meets your safety requirements.
They meet the standards I need so it's all good.
I would buy them again. :cool:

I also recommend getting footbed/insole inserts.
The design of a good aftermarket insole is far superior to the original
straight from the factory.

Red Wings are the best. Very comfortable and last extremely long. I have multiple pairs. And wear them every day.

Ah carp.

I remember catching & chucking them away from the river bank, as far as you could throw em.
Lots of people did it.
We were fishing for catfish, not carp.

"Carp tossing" even got a little competitive... 8):dunce:8)

Plants along the bank always looked stellar in the spring. :weed:
