@reay@lukem I used to work on concrete factory floors wearing safety toe boots.
I tried cheaper shoes and never found anything that wasn’t murder on my feet either. I bought a pair of Chippewa boots that we’re comfortable for years until I literally wore through the leather. Then I bought a pair of Ariats and found those great as well.
I have worn Blundstones daily for 5 years and they’re exceedingly comfortable but I’ve never tried any of theirs with a safety toe.
And yes, my work will compensate for I think up to $100 or something for such footwear, but that’s per year, and I don’t know if that’s calendar year (maaaaaybe passed that now?) or personal year from the first purchase (for sure not past that yet).
Gotta clear that up with my manager.
But regardless, I can’t keep using these. If I need to eat the full cost, so be it. I can’t hold out another X months in that pain over $100.
