These are steel toed, it does not say that in the description. I wore them several times and they hurt my feet/toes.  It did not occur to me at first that they might be steel toed.  I gave them to my son.  O K, maybe I am just not very observant, but I was not looking to buy steel toe boots and it did not list them as such so why would I think they would be, they don't look different from soft toe boots.  In all fairness these are very comfortable and are great boots, but I cannot wear steel toe boots for more than a little while before they start hurting my toes.  My only complaint is that they did not list them as steel toe in the description.
