Ok, I gotta question...
I started a new job about 2 months ago, and it's a safety requirement to wear steel toed boots. I am a "Cowboy" boot wearer so didn't see a need in changing any footwear habits when shifting to steel toed...so I stuck with a brand I know, Justin's.. Apparently I was WRONG with thinking the same thing over steel toes.
What started out as comfy, has recently took a turn for the worse and I'm hating these boots. They are completely broke in at this point, I have even added insoles to them to try to help, but I can't seem to get a comfortable feel to happen.
Justin's are a comfortable boot, and I'm wondering if its not the socks...LOL I feel as if I can feel every thread in the socks by 3 in the afternoon. My feet do end up wet half the time, and I'm wondering if maybe two pair of sock would help that feeling...?
Honestly, there is no reason for us to have to wear steel toes for our job description, its an insurance precaution which is absurd. We lift nothing heavy...use nothing that can take toes off or even mash them...
Any suggestions? I'm thinking about buying another pair and get composite toed this time....
