Do you have a "Mark's Work WearHouse" in your neck of the woods.  The
"Dakota" brand of sneakers are excellent.  Steel shank and toe with a
steel sole insert that's saved my footsies from nasty nails on more than
one occasion.  They also come in an "Oxford" version for the "high end
homes".  The last pair I bought were $79.00 CDN (on sale).  That was a
year and a half ago, and they still polish up to a mirror shine.  :-)
