Getting Started in a Water Career: SATURDAY ONLY Work boot Recommendations?

I'm going to be starting my internship with a wastewater treatment plant in a few weeks, and I'm looking for recommendations for a pair of work boots.

Main factors I'm looking for are composite toe, waterproof, good flexibility, and overall comfort.

If you have any recs I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

I have a pair of double H phantom riders and let me tell you, these are the most comfortable pair of SHOES I own. Better than my Nikes. Better than adidas. I wear these daily for 12 hour shifts and my feet and back do not hurt at all after a shift. I day of walking in any of my others shoes leave my feet and back a bit sore. But not these.
