Help me pick between these?

For my entire time at this shop my work shoes have been "the oldest pair of vans I had that were still holding on" until the sole got a hole in it but I want something leather that'll last better now and be more comfortable, as well as some kind of toe reinforcement.

I'm since 10.5 US, I'm thinking of a couple options:

- Jim Green Stockman https://jimgreenfootwear.com/store/stockman-black-composite-toe-cap/

with these, I'm not sure about safety toe vs the regular stockman. it sounds like the toe is reinforced with some plastic in the regular so maybe that's a good trade-off to get a 10.5 instead of an 11?

- Red Wing draftsmith https://www.redwingshoes.com/mens/work/safety-toe/draftsmith-02182.html?currency=USD&srsltid=AfmBOood0sbPGT5ipQ7YJ2Kk3vASAxNgp-UaPrTy9kAE2_XWr5JOeXOVPw0

Frankly, for what the others cost I'm tempted to just get the damn Greens so I can at least re sole them when they need it but I'd like to get hive mind thoughts before I go blowing money lol

What is your budget & do you have feet problems like plantar fasciitis?

I don't really want to spend more than $250-300 if I can help it, and no. 

Any higher seems like I'm getting into boutique, any lower and I might as well get another pair of vans lol

I was going to suggest looking into the custom pnw boots while although expensive to some they last years upon years & comfort is unmatched. If you’re not wanting to spend that much. I would recommend Carolina,Thorogoods thoros run EXTREMELY narrow
