When I was in your position everyone told me Red Wing Boots are good but I was on tight budget and got Ariat, Style No. 37400
steel toe and have some ATS equipped, dont know if that does anything they are commfy tho.
only intelegent advice I have found is that you want a pair that have a "shank" in the rubber sole. not sure if it is molded in when the rubber sole is made or what but it helps keep your foot straight.
My first pair of work boots were Justin, JUNK, they did not have this steel "shank" in the sole and for some reason, maybe I walk like a pengiun, but the bottom of my soles wore a lot faster on the inside of my foot. it got so bad that it hurt to walk, and now if you set the pair on the ground and look from behind they sit like this /\.
