I have one such multipurpose boots. Normally all guys working in a manufacturing plants will have such type of safety shoes. I have been using such one for nearly three years. It too has a steel toe. This shoe also contains a sole made of Polyurethane, which is anti-skid, resistant to acids, alkalis, mineral oils and organic fats. These shoes are heavy and you can even kick a wall with full force, yet there won’t be any damage to sole or our toes. You don’t need a protection pad for the shifting area. These are real tough.

But the pad part is, don’t take this shoes to track. They completely lack feedback and also with these shoes it’s a bit difficult to position your feet in the peg when you are about to enter a corner. The thick soles are the reason for it. Also you are bound to lock up your rear brakes very easily due to lack of feedback.

For normal riding and walking, ya, its pretty good. But people with sensitive feet, pls stay away. The feet will sweat like a pig and some might feel irritation in the feet, if you happen to use normal socks.

The one I have, had, will look similar to Coot all black. If you guys need, I can post the pics.

@Samarth 619 : What satyen told is true. Steel toe shoes are real tough.
@Satyen : All the field employees in my company are compulsorily made to wear these shoes. We have a branch in Mumbai too
