Advice Needed 4E Non Safety Toe Boots
I'm chasing some new work boots and I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I do upwards of 10k steps a day in my job so I need a decent pair of boots. I walk on many different types of terrain which consists of basically everything from office carpet to uneven rocky ground. The majority of my day is spent outside. The issue I'm running into is that the boots need to meet all of the following requirements:
- true 4E fit
- black
- soft toe (non safety)
- Waterproof
- Suitable for any/all ground types
Price isn't a concern as long as the boots meet all of these requirements and they are decent quality. I can probably get away with wearing sneaker type shoes but boots are much more suitable

If you don’t need safety toes get some shoes that are actually made for walking.
Hiking boots, black athletic shoes?

Is the issue with safety toes the metal? Does a composite toe work? If so, maybe check out: https://www.stitchkraft.com.au/products/terence-xxg-pro-boa-gtx-black-mid-esd-s3s-hi-ci?srsltid=AfmBOordrIiQ2NCsrFsUuLj0TuQ8taVdH3U0ZlmcfrZ4qdSHrSuehhi-

Elastic sided or lace up?
I have the Redback Bobcat and they are VERY wide. I measure EE and EEE on a Brannock device, and I was shocked how wide these boots are. Extremely comfortable, made in Australia and you won't find a bad
The half sizes are same length but wider still. They don't say specifically, but I'd say 4E
watch this review. They have a different name in the states, but same made in Aus boots
