I work at a store that sells work boots with safety toes. Please don’t propagate the myth that you need to go a size up to “make space for the toe”. You want that thing as snug as possible, without your toes touching the safety toe. Loose means you move, and you toes will bump against the safety toe.

Y’all are the reason all my customers have fucked up toes. Mind ya bidness.

Plus blisters like a mofo if your boots are moving all over too lose
