The ones with a >piece of steel in the front. Steel-toed boots have been found to cause more injury than they prevent in construction scenarios. Reason being is that anything heavy enough to damage your foot badly will smash and crimp the steel in the shoe deep into the flesh and bones of your foot, the edges cutting through your bones. It's like holding a knife-edge next to your foot and waiting for something to push it through like shear edge. Without that false security there, you will be more cautious to not get into those situations in the first place, taking unnecessary risks. And should something smash your foot, you're more likely not to permanently lose any of your toes or bones. You can remove the boot for immediate access to the injury, rather than wondering how you're going to get that smashed and crimped steel in the shoe, now cutting deeply into your bones, unbent so you can remove the boot from your foot.

Really. Anything heavy enough to crimp the steel cup over the toes is heavy enough to destroy the foot, period. The steel toe does protect against those impacts that'd hurt like hell for weeks. At the same time, I am open to the citing of a site that contains a study. Can you post same, please? -- John McWilliams
