when I worked in shops that everything needed a crane to lift it. steel toed boots were not required. why you ask? we were told that something heavy would fall and instead of just crushing your toes the steel cap would slice off all your toes instead. so I stayed away from steel toed shoes. sorry to be a downer on this but that is what I heard at southern California Edison. bill keep your toes out of the way
Ive heard that too when I was working on industrial boilers. I didn't buy it and stuck w/ my steel toes back then. Ive looked at the "Caterpillar" boots while at Sears and Ive always passed only due to the name, seemed silly. Ive been dealing w/ Plantar Fasciitis for about a half year now, I wear mostly Redwing mixed with similar brands mixed in due to that. I usually rotate my boots daily so I will look at the Caterpillar boots again, Thanks for the review.
