Safety always. A good worker never puts himself in the position to get his toes cut off in the first place. Safety first. Safety always.

Each pair last me 2-4 years). They have ANSI class 75 steel toes. I work with cars, engines, tools all day long.. In the last 10 years I have had a transmission fall on my foot from about 2 feet high.. A bare cast iron engine block (153 lbs) break the bolts holding it to an engine stand and land on both of my feet. A camaro back over my foot with it's left rear wheel. Non of those things even dented the steel toe.. Just cut the leather covering the steel. No harm at all was done to my toes/feet. With out the steel toe boots, I know my toes/feet would have been broken.. 10 years so far, and from my results I plan on wearing steel toe boots for atleast another 30 years.

One thing I do is when I get a pair of steel toe boots is have my wife run over the toe with her buick. The cat & Wal-Mart Brands both bent & cut the top of my foot, The timberland stayed intact & I have been wearing them for over a year now, they have not fallen apart & I have had a korklift run them over & still holding great.

It will surprise you what they can take, even with dropped items. They could get some damage, but never a severance. Go to Discovery channel and look up Mythbusters episode on steel toed boots.

The steel toe isn't for parking tractors on, it's to keep you going when everything less than catastrophic occurs. It's like safety goggles protecting a person's eyes. They work great, but only to a point... You’re talking worst case scenarios here man.
