[TheForge] No idea too hare-brained

[Charles]

If you had to cut the steel toe away, then in all likely hood your toes would have been jelly and candidates for amputation without them.   This comes up in industry periodically and every study I have seen off quality boots is that in all cases you are better with them then without.    If needed I suppose I would rework the toe, but I have a Landis K Stitcher, a 900lbs machine for stitching soles to a goodyear style welt.

I quit on steel toes the first time i had to cut my bloody toes free of the collapsed steel cap to take the boot off.
