I wear Bates composite toe military style with side zip and they are very, very comfortable and have held up for two years in a chem plant environment. They breathe well and help me stay cool. A heavy sock in the winter is usually enough unless I'm standing around in the snow/ice. They are NOT water resistant in any way which is a major downside. Wet feet are only slightly worse than wet undies.
