My Line Mechanics boots are German made Schoen boots. Really expensive, but my Lord they last!. It also pays to use a bit of Leather care product on your boots too, it just means that water will not seep in and start to rot the leather. I clean my boots every Saturday morning and check them for damage. I've had the same boots for 5 years now.
I was a long timer of redwing then decided to try Danner.Danners are excellent.Best boot Ive ever owned.For everyday,the radicals and for the major offroad,acadias.
I remember seeing some boots advertised many years ago that may have had fiberglass toes caps - I just remember them being not steel. They were billed as having the protection of steel toes without the weight.
I haven't seen them in a long time. Don't know if the company went under, of if they really didn't hold up as well under test-to-failure.
One would think in this age of carbon-fiber ice cube trays, and mil-tech going commercial that we could have a pair of safety toed boots that didn't double as workout devices!

I have Sneakers with Steel Toe too. Also Black Loafers (Dress Shoes) w/Steel Toes. One of the Companies I worked for allowed us to get 2 pairs a year. Some guys really stocked up.
