I just ordered my 2nd set of these, the first are 18months old, I wear them M-F consistently in industrial environment, these are some of the best steel toes I have had. I at any minute as an industrial technical rep could go from installing/training on industrial heavy equipment, to teaching in a class room environment, or discussing trends/products with uppermanagement/ownerships. Because of this, I've always liked the oxford steel toe shoe, as that style really meets my requirements. I've had Doc Martin's and Red Wings (was my favorite until last pair from China just feel apart after 6months, with no assistance from Red Wing in warranty/product quality concern). The shoe laces are the one item that needs improvement, after 3-6months the laces started to crack. The insoles just started falling apart, after 18months of use (my first pair ordered 6/13). I have new sets of laces and inserts to get my older pair back up to standards, and use the new pair for more meetings/office work until my other pair completely falls apart. I would highly recommend these shoes, and I do when discussing safety shoes (required in my occupation) with co-workers and customers.
