Can anyone recommend a good zero-drop, wide toe work boot, preferably with a steel toe?
I’ve switched over to zero-drop for all my footwear, but I can’t find anything heavy duty that’s comparable to my normal work boots.🥾

my guess is its hard to find because they are safety footwear. in my steel toes I go to a oven molded insole.
I am affraid you’re gonna get really hard time getting steel reinforced ones.
But for my garden work and hiking I am using KOEL barefoot.
I emailed Carets like they recommended on their site and they never got back to me 😭
Not steel toe but they do custom orders. I’ve had my pair for a year and I love them. Still going strong and I use them everyday. I work in construction. Highly recommend

Those do look nice
Have you spoken with a Red Wing representative?
I don’t know if they have what you need but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they do.
I have had Red Wing boots for 15 years.
I visit construction sites at times so I need to have them for safety standards and whatnot.
There may be better brands. I don’t know.
I haven’t worn them daily since probably pre covid, but for a good 8 years or so I was wearing them most days if not every day.
In that time I have gone through 2.5 pairs. The half is because I have had the inner pads replaced on the 2nd pair and they did a “toe dip” on the front since the front toe area had some accumulated scuff damage from random things I have kicked over time…probably a lot of kickplates on doors.
Redwing 4456 composit toe . never felt tingling when working on live power.
