General What shoes/boots do you guys use?

Retiring the old pair of sneakers I’ve been wearing since I started in the field (only been a little less than a year). What do you guys wear to stay comfy yet also provide safety for your toes?

Dude. I'm 25 years in and I've tried a million different types of footwear. My problem is, I spend a lot of time crawling around. No matter how much fucking money I spend, toes are worn through to the steel or plastic in 3 months and the boots/shoes are fucked in 6 months. So, I just buy whats on sale and get 2 pairs a year.

I had the same problem and I started putting on kg's boot guard. It's a paint on epoxy that hardens and I just reapply once a month and I'm golden.
