i don't like steel toes that much for climbing... the problem i have had with 
them is on rohn 25 pointy tops sometimes i would have to cram one foot in 
between the rotor and tower or in the small gaps and the steel toes either got 
stuck or wouldn't fit well.

As long as you are going for work boots don't forget steel toes which
