No, seriously: while technically closed-toed, I'd prefer to see better toe protection than what those offer. Think of a 3 pound aluminum bar falling end-on to your toes, what would you rather have stopping it?
your shoes protect from a 3 pound bar falling on your foot from a few feet up (table hight or waist height)? I know that mine don't from a few times dropping stock when machining with coolant covered hands (and the bars i work with don't even weight 2 lbs.). I use standard sneakers.
