IronAge makes an excellent shoe (model 652) that is steel toe and provides an external metatarsal protection plate. It sells for 70.00 off their truck and if you go to their web site (www.ironage.com) you can order them directly from them. I got mine when the truck stops by work to allow workers to buy safety shoes. I have two pair and alternate them. One of the things I like best is that they are all leather and shine up like glass if you know how to apply a spit shine. There's nothing like the first trip to the plate with shoes shined like that. Of course, it only shows for about 5 minutes before the dust obscures them. But it does make a great first impression.
