Work Shoes, Safety Shoes

I have a preference of wearing a safety shoes to work, without a proper shoes, I feel very uneasy. Had used a couple of safety shoes for farming but most of the time it doesn't last. Worn off 3 pairs during the past 2 years. Most of the time it's the join on the sole to the leather top (where it flex) and the sole that got worn off. I guess it doesn't last because it's due to the working environment. In our farm, during the morning, due to the morning dew, the grass are quite wet. In the afternoon, the farm gets very hot. When it rains or after rained, the shoe get very wet. With these wet dry environment, day in day out, the shoes just don't last.

Had a pair of Mr Mark Safety shoes, that I bought during a promotion, clearing stock. It was comfortable and had it for quite a while. When it broke, the steel plate broke free from the sole. I think this pair last the longest.

The 2nd pair couldn't remember the name. It just didn't last. The sole worn off very fast and had to discard it.

 3rd pair is from RhinoStar, liked this shoes too as it looks sporty. The sole broke and lots of rusted metal pieces inside the sole, causing lots of discomfort due to pressure points.

Went to the hardware shop for a pair of new shoes. Got a pair of Safety Jogger as was told that it's good and stocks has just arrived. In a small place like Keningau, they do not stock a wide range, just the regular popular range. Only Best Boy & Best Run is available. I chooses Best Boy as it is a mid cut and it offer more protection. Viewed their website and found that Best Boy is rated as S3, meaning that the sole has antistatic properties, energy absorbed in the heels. It is also resistance to water penetration and absorption. The mid sole  also has penetration resistance and cleated sole. Hope that this is suitable for my usage.
