I work in a sterile Clean Room environment that requires standing perfectly still for LONG periods of time so as not to disrupt air currents. This has really taught me the importance of quality footwear and I've had nothing but great success with Merrell shoes & insoles. I was shocked by the difference between them and lesser quality footwear that would leave my feet and legs quite sore at the end of the day.

I too have been wearing merrell or keens for work. Comfortable and there's no break in time. I still get a new pair every year. Farming seems to be hard on any of them

I've been wearing Oliver AT's for the last 5 years. they are steel toed, yet light-weight and almost feel like you are wearing gym shoes.

Most comfortable boot I've ever worn.

Going to check out all of your recommendations, thank you!
