I don't want to crush my toes, nor do I want to cut them off with a chainsaw. That said, my Red Wing 2218 logging boots are often serious overkill. They are hot, weigh a ton, and can be a major source of fatigue.

Suggestions? If no one chimes in here, I'm sure there will be a Mennonite or Mennonite-adjacent feller at the local hardware/dry goods store who will sort me out.
