16. Steel Toe Shoes for Men Women-Work Safety Shoes Breathable Lightweight Indestructible Industrial Construction Non Slip Sneakers Slip Resistant Puncture Proof Working Shoes (12.5 Women / 11 Men, Grey)
1 mention
Breathable Mesh Upper: Breathable and durable mesh upper provides superior breathability and quick drying.Breathable mesh, and flexibility, with no laces means this pair will last you long, without having to pay for the clunky boot steel toe shoes. A good alternative.They are soft fabric/mesh shoes,...
Yeah, those look sketchy.
But they do make nice looking steel toes nowadays.

These Golden Fox Boots.
There's pretty cheap, but Goodyear welted and the leather/construction is quality (although not top-of-the-line). I own a pair of Chippewas, Bean Boots, and Iron Rangers, and these get the most compliments by far. They add some lighter colors to usual winter outfits that tend to be dark, they're big and chunky, and you'll get some solid years out of wearing them.
I really can't say enough good things about them.
Hey guys! This is my first time contributing to this sub, hope you enjoy! I'm not to familiar with high end brands so I got some item inspiration from posts on this sub. Also, the high end t shirt is supposed to be acne, not APC, typo. The fit pic is one I found in an old inspo album I have, so I couldn't find the source. Here are the links:

It looks like it. You can find the boots on amazon for the old prices, for example:

are the same, but amazon is 50% cheaper.
hey man, I'm nearly 32 but I've been on this forum since my mid-20's, so I've experimented with a bit, and my style has obviously changed as I've gotten older.
There's no "30 year old style." It's pretty much the same thing as in your 20s (and this extends to your 40s, too). The key is that you need to be more aware of the scenarios in which you are wearing your clothing. There's much more leeway in terms of social acceptance when you're in college, grad school, or starting your first job and going out to happy hours and socializing with other 20-somethings.
In the end, all of the same general principles on MFA still apply into your 30s and 40s, you just have to be more cognizant of your situation.
That being said, here's what I recommend:
(1) get a pair of sneakers that you can wear casually. Not running shoes... casual sneakers. I have these New Balance ML574's. I love the two-tone texture look. I wear these literally every day, all year.
(2) get a pair of versatile boots that walk the line between both casual and professional. I have a pair of Frye Walters. I love the look, but I think I would recommend some other boot as far as comfort and durability, like the MFA coveted Alden 405. I wear these a few times per week.
(3) Pretty much all I wear are (1) and (2), but I also work from home so I don't have to go into the office every day. That said, depending on your job and your job wardrobe, expand your collection with shoes that will help there. If you work in an office, get quality dress oxfords, play with some wingtips, or get some chelsea boots or other kinds of dress boots.
(4) Optional: another pair of boots that are more casual. I have a pair of Golden Fox Moc toe vibram wedge. I would sort of put these as less casual than the dress boots in (2), and substitutable with sneakers (no shorts, of course). T-shirt and jeans wouldn't look good with the (2) boots, but would work with a more casual, chunky boot.
I think that's all I got.
Golden Fox has a number of boots and chukkas.

I've been suffering from a neuropathy of some sort (not diabetes) for about 10 years, and for 90% of the time, all I can stand to wear have been the excellent Brooks Beast Running shoes. That's been hard for this 57 year old Iowa farm boy that grew up in boots.
I settled on a pair of Thorogood American Heritage work boots, and after a relatively uncomfortable afternoon of break in, they've been extraordinary. The wedge sole has been great for my back as well, although that's not the only option. I strongly encourage anyone to give them a shot:

I have experience with most of the places mentioned here so far. I also second the composite over steel toe suggestion.
Sid Boedeker is just okay in my opinion. I got some work boots from there in 2014, but was really disappointed in their selection to choose from. I was wanting a traditional brown leather somewhat western-style boot. They carry all kinds of safety shoes, and it may be different now, but I thought that specifically their brown boot selection was poor.
I really like Hewlett and Dunn in Collierville. They have a huge selection of boots and carry safety boots as well. Pretty sure they supply every model Ariat imaginable. Cool store in general and I like to support a local business. I went there last month to try on this boot and will return to purchase it soon.
I got some Iron Rangers from Red Wing last year. Not really work boots, but I was very pleased with how I was treated as a customer there and would definitely return. They have a machine that you can step on that measures each foot and gives you a size recommendation along with a report on your arch and pressure points.
Academy Sports does seem to have a decent selection from the times I have been there and they always seem to have great prices. Never bought a boot from them though.
I've had my eye on the Golden Fox moc toe. It got good reviews on an MFA thread a few days ago. It may be too dissimilar from (dissimilar to?) a CDB for your liking, though.
Here you go. Golden Fox Moc Toe. Highly reviewed inexpensive boot.
Try the eastland high fidelity boots, I bought a pair a couple weeks back for around $100 and I love the way they look.
Here are a couple pictures of my pair.

Alternatively, if you're looking for a moc toe boot, you can try golden fox boots
Golden Fox Moc Toe boots are around $60 and a very popular option on FMF.
A couple reviews:
Review One
Review Two
A few months back there was some talk about the Golden Fox moc toe boots, you can find them on Amazon. I never really felt comfortable with the range of reviews or the quality of the leather so I decided to wait.
Fast forward to late October, I happened across a pair of Eastland moc toe boots at Nordstrom Rack for only $70. You can buy them new from their site here for $125 with a 15% off coupon if you sign up for their mailing list. I love them - been keeping my feet dry and warm through the Chicago winter thus far. Would recommend for the price point.
With winter approaching and being a student on a budget, I'm in desperate need of boots that aren't a high price, even though I'll be giving up some quality for it. Right now I'm stuck in between two boots, the Golden Fox 6" Moc Toe Boots and Crevo Moc Toe Boots. Not sure as to which to get. Any suggestions on either, or experience? And if you know a better boot that is preferrably under $100, please share.

These shoes are nice. Breathable, flexible, with really good grip. I bought these 9/17/19 so far so good. They're my first pair of steel toe shoes. Under $40 can't beat that on Amazon.
Thorogood boots are about $125 shipped from Amazon.
Golden Fox boots are about $70 shipped from various third party sellers on Amazon.
Red Wing is the most comfortable but unfortunately don't breathe well.
My favorites are Keens work shoes
Most of the guys at my plant swear by Timberland work shoes
Going into electrical engineering you may want to look into some composite toes for electrical hazard protection.
Also, make sure you check with HR or your boss for compensation for protective equipment. If it's required to do your job they need to provide the funds for it.

Golden Fox leather Moc Toe. How's the sizing and quality?
Steve Madden has poor quality, and although the price looks nice, I can't imagine these lasting you any more than two years, and that's if you take good care of them. What kind of budget are you looking at? I saw a good review on here, I think, about these boots, but you have to like the shape and aesthetic of the shoe for it.
I haven't tried them, but word is the Thursday boots aren't that great. Docs aren't that great either, but I'd go with them because they're not trying to be something they're not. With that budget, my choice would actually be Thorogood Heritage like [these](Thorogood American Heritage 6" Plain Toe Rubber Boot, Walnut, 9.5 D US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HWYW7OY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_S0gsxbS2D6ERX) or maybe look around for some discounted Red Wings in your size.
I think you might want to narrow down what kind of shoe you're looking for. Maybe the links aren't quite right, but I'm seeing the Merrels as a casual, slip-on, light brown, suede "grizzly/camp" loafer; the Clarks shows me a much more formal, black, cap-toe derby. This just about runs the gamut of formality for footwear. Others might have some more input if they know more of what you're looking for.
The brand "golden fox" on amazon has been brought up a few times on /r/goodyearwelt as a decent, actually budget option, if you're looking for a casual American workwear vibe.

Chunky Moc-Toe Derby
I really like the these Golden Fox boots. I bought a pair earlier this year and I think they look and feel great for the price.
No, more like these
Not the same look, but those soles are better for icy/wet conditions
How are [these] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0083F3KWE/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A25720VX5INJGM)?
I went through two pairs of Keen Atlanta Cools during my 5 years on the ramp.
My only complaint was when it rained your feet WILL get soaked....
They are light, fit like a tennis shoe, and saved my toes countless times from towbars, tow heads, luggage, tools, single point nozzles, anything you can think of that would crush a rampers foot.

These are a good bang for your buck.
I want to buy a pair of Golden Fox moc toe boots but I don't know which color to choose. I also have no idea what the difference is between "brown" and "brun" since amazon doesn't have different pictures for the two. I'm also interested in the red, but I can't really decide if it would be as versatile as I would like.
I'll take any input you could give me. Thanks!
I should have been more specific - Something like This
Or if you prefer a less chunky or more slender boot, something like This

I've heard good things about these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002QQ8XJ6/ref=cts_sh_3_fbt?pi=SL110#
Also, Red Wings are cool too.
Close, but the boots in the pic have more eyelets. I think they're the 8" version.
So if the wolverines are made in china, would I be better off buying the Golden Foxes

Is there a marked difference in leather and construction quality?
Thanks. I'm considering getting the pair of boots you linked (your previous review as my first, but I was wondering if the sizes of these vary to regular training shoes or anything. I see people buying relatively small numbers (6.5EE and 7D). Any chance you'd explain to me what those letters mean and what size I should probably get? I'm a pretty big guy being 6'3" I usually wear size 12.5-13 training/running shoes. I checked the amazon page but they don't seem to have any sizes from 11 to 13. Any idea where I could possible get them in another size?

Golden Fox is another possible.
I got these for last winter and they haven't worn at all.

They aren't name brand so if that sort of thing matters get LL bean or something. But they are leather and seem to be quite well made.
[SELL] Size 7.5 Golden Fox Moc Toe Boots
I really like how these look, but they are too similar to another pair I already own. I just received them in mail and they are new with tags in original packaging. I am willing to part with them for $55 plus shipping.

Message me if you are interested or if you have any questions!
Shoes (100$ Budget) - Golden Fox boots would be a good choice if you want to spend $100 total on shoes and boots.
Chinos (60$ Budget) - You can get Elston 528s for around $30 a pair.
Not quite the Moc style as the Sperry's but somewhat of a moc toe look. Check these Golden Fox Boots out.
Does anybody know if these Thorogood boots are waterproof? My cold, wet feet will thank you.
Does anyone have experience with Golden Fox Moc Toe Boots in wet/slushy/snowy conditions. I'm not in Canada, but Michigan is close enough, right?
After looking at the wiki, the style of boots that stood out for me was this design or this one.
What are the differences between these two? Also what is the difference between brown and brun?

Please don't say buy Red Wings instead, I'm poor. Also, if so, what color?
What to wear with these golden fox boots?
Golden fox are decent, they have goodyear welt so you can resole them if need be.
The idea that a shoe must be a steal plate with laces is not accurate. Here is a puncture proof shoe insert, here is a puncture proof running shoe there was a time when a puncture proof shoe would have been stiff and heavy but there was also a time when we our phones had cords and not cameras and the internet. We have the technology. Should every officer have puncture proof shoes on at all time? Maybe not but raiding a camp in the woods? Sounds like a good idea to me.
Here you go.
These turned out nice. For about $60 though, you could have gotten a new pair of these to break in.
