Yes - I love the new ideas about steel-toed shoes. !!! I was sorely tempted by a pair of
steel-toed Sketchers, but they didn't have my size. Plus they're pink, LOL. I did, however buy a pair of these:

as an alternative to my big, giant, mud-magnet, waffle-stompin' Red Wings.
I have to get a hard hat, too, but they issue those.
I got a great pair of steel-toed Carolina shoes similar to those and they are great for winter walks. Mine have a little iridescent inset that changes from blue to purple depending on the light. I bought them from Overstock.com for a pretty good price, IIRC. LSA
