I live and work on 2 farms. Everyday I have the potential to drop something heavy on my feet but steal-toe boots are just too clumsy. I found these steal-toe sneakers from Nautilus and figured I'd give them a try. They are extremely comfortable, light weight, and even the normal sizes are wide at the toes. These shoes are perfect for people who need protection but have to be moving around a lot.

I bought a pair of these for work on an airfield in the Kuwaiti desert in 2006. Wore them for about 8 months before going back home, and now I am back in the Middle East - in Iraq this time - and these shoes, although they are beginning to fray in some areas, have held up pretty well. I expect these to last me through the rest this tour, which means I will have gotten about a year and a half of usage from these shoes in one of the harshest environments imaginable. In comparison, the Wolverine steel toed hikers I bought during my tour in Kuwait lasted me all of three months, and those were not cheap shoes. These may be expensive, but usually, you get what you pay for.

This is a good quality pair of shoes, when you have a size 14 wide there are not many good choices out there. I will be purchasing more.
