Holy shit, that's like one of the worst choices you could make, and I'm a leather boot guy while hiking (which isn't even a great idea, I just like to). There's a reason why Doc Martins aren't worn by construction workers (for long anyway). When I was an electrician, Doc Martens were notoriously NOT indestructible, with leather often being worn away while running wire or digging. They were a sign that someone was inexperienced. And there's a very good reason why soldiers the world over aren't issued or even purchase steel toe boots (AR 670-1 lets us have a pretty good selection these days). Try rucking with 50 lbs of gear for a mere 15k, and you'll quickly see why.

Steel toe boots have their place for sure, but certainly not for walking long distances. And I'm not trying to shit on Doc Martens either, I think they're cool and are certainly something I'd wear over nothing.

You want something borderline indestructible but still good for long distances? Rocky's, as hideous as I think they are.
