Steel toecapped shoes/boots used to be available. I don't recall seeing them on offer for a long time now, certainly not amongst the heap of garbage that is the current footwear range.
The machine stops.

Oh yeah I remember them, I managed to blag a pair of the dm's iirc you had to be tagged to for example a driving job like collections to be eligible, not much use for a walking duty so gave them to my son who'd just started working, still got a Ben Sherman too, kept it for old times sake, knocking on 26 years now for me and it was certainly different, wasn't even the real good old days either :thumbup
