There was a lot of debate about the true safety of steel toes. The consensus was that although the smashing of toes was a bad thing, the possibility of the steel plate chopping them off was greater.

My steeltoe Caterpillars have done me well the last 11 years. Yeah, I said it, 11 years. Although I haven't used them on a daily basis, they still fit and have good tread. I can agree w/ John though...when they get cold your feet fuckin' freeze.
