Purchased these because my regular alloy toe shoes were causing cramps in the bridge of my foot. These did allow me to wear my regular shoes and that was wonderful. My only problem was i had to learn to walk different because as i walked, the cap pushed into the top of my toes. Now that i walk a bit different, they are great. You look kinda dumb walking in a warehouse wearing these but i take comfort over looks. Will recommend spending this price over $125+ for regular safety toes that hurt your feet.
