I bought these because I can't read and I thought they were regular toe. they are a steel toe. I tried to love them but they are too heavy for me. they were sad, dusty, and dry. I scrubbed them clean and they are freshly conditioned and water proofed with high quality product. Reposhing this item I purchased from @jquill88. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new.
