Best internal metarsal guard boot And most comfortable and affordable on the market now

One of the eyelets broke in the first week. Pretty disappointed.

It is well made. Sturdy. Safety oriented. Thus a difficult break-in time. I can't wear them. Likely going to Goodwill.

I bought a pair of Rocky steel toes a few years ago and they way longer than any other brand I've had previously and they were super comfortable. I got these instead because I liked the idea of the metatarsal guards. For the most part I'd say they match up to the other pair I had, except for one EXTREMELY annoying issue, the tongues on the boots. The tongues will not stay flush with my foot and it causes my pant legs to get caught if I sit down or stretch my legs for any reason. It is infuriating. I wish I went with the original boots that I had before, they were slightly taller but had an extra shoestring ring that I'm sure is what made the difference between them
