Well i finally got my low rise athletic style work shoe but with aluminum toe instead of steel to save weight. I went with the red wing brand and am real happy with the comfort and support.they even have a computerized foot sizing system where you put your foot inside this contraption and it sizes up your feet to the perfect size.what was disappointing was the sales clerk had very little shoe product knowledge,and red wing is a shoe only store:confused2: i hope these last more than a year.

Good luck with that
Please keep us informed as to how they hold up.
I'm sure you paid a good sum for them seeing as how they are Redwing.

That should not happen.:thumbdown:
The purpose of steel toes is to keep your toes from being crushed or cut off. If a battery did that, I believe he should be compensated by the shoe manufacturer.

That's the problem these day's,..Always blame some one else eh
Who was the dummi that dropped the friggin batt on his foot?
Why blame the shoemaker :confused2:
May as well blame the batt factory for failing to put a sticker on the batt "don't drop this batt on your feet, it may result in a crushed foot "

You're kidding about suing the battery company but things have gotten almost that bad. The way it works in the USA is for the lawyers to look for some entity with a lot of money and then concoct a legal strategy to draw that company into the suit.
It's not quite so bad in Canada -- at least you have "loser pays" which discourages some frivolous lawsuits.

I agree, that is a big problem these days, but a battery is not that heavy and a good steel toe should have protected those toes. Yes, people need to be careful and this guy dropped the battery, but he also purchased the shoes/boots with the expectation of some protection. It sounds like he would have been better off with regular shoes or boots - broken toes maybe, but the steel toe is probably what cut the toes off.
I don't believe in blaming the manufacturer for your own stupidity, but accidents do happen and that is why steel toes should actually provide some protection instead of making the problem worse.
