The one thing that you wonder why you didn't buy sooner?

Work boots with steel toes AND metatarsal protectors.
(Dropped an 80lb vice on my metatarsal last night)
Painful!

For years I wore the kind that the metatarsal protector was hinged at the toe and tied with the boot laces at the top.

I had to be careful climbing on/off equipment because some of the recessed steps were small enough to get my metatarsal stuck in one.

The last pair I bought, the metatarsal was built into the boot. That was great. No more getting stuck, or weeds, sticks or wires clinging to the boot. I wore them for 5 years and still in good shape.

Steel toe boots with toe rubber like protectors over the toes probably used to go through work boots like candy cuz the toes would wear off sometimes lose the actual steel toe lol had these for years still somewhat functional.

The one thing I wonder why I didn't buy sooner is the tool I needed today but don't have then ordered and now have which either gets put away gathering dust or I can't find if and when I ever need it again.

I’d buy a congressman or senator, but ain’t got the cash.

This is a nice thread, let’s keep politics out of it, besides we all know China bought up the available supply of them years ago.

A hydraulic thumb for the backhoe.

Wouldn’t trade mine for anything.

What brand? I keep thinking steel toes W/O metatarsal is only half right.

You're too late. They've already been bought.

I had no clue about this boot.

Plus if your welding,cutting, or grinding you won't burn through countless pairs of boot laces.
