Missed that. I read the OP at first and then noticed 2 or 3 steel-toe suggestions. I missed him responding. Still, I'd wear the CAT steel toes. Same style, same price, more toe protection. Just remembering now, the guys I used to work with also liked the Timberland Wellingtons. They're slightly more expensive ($100-120), and they swore by them.

I am pretty sure that Cat makes a fine boot for construction work and such, but in a situation where you are always standing on steel, it is a whole new ballgame. The wrong pair of boots are a waste of money, and can cause you problems.
I worked 30 years in steel mills,shipyards, power plants, I have bought the wrong boots before. Now I just go straight for Redwing sor Wolverines.No sense taking a chance.
As far as a piece of equipment goes though, Cat is the best IMHO and I have 3 different machines built by them, a 953 loader,a D3 dozer, and a small rubber track skid steer ( a 247 I think). If Redwing starts making equipment, I will still stick with Cat for that.

Non steal toe: can't go wrong w Justin's. Tony llama if you want to spend the cash.

Steel toe: ariats or tony llamas
