For years I wore the kind that the metatarsal protector was hinged at the toe and tied with the boot laces at the top.Work boots with steel toes AND metatarsal protectors.
(Dropped an 80lb vice on my metatarsal last night)
Painful!
I had to be careful climbing on/off equipment because some of the recessed steps were small enough to get my metatarsal stuck in one.
The last pair I bought, the metatarsal was built into the boot. That was great. No more getting stuck, or weeds, sticks or wires clinging to the boot. I wore them for 5 years and still in good shape.
