I am similar to some others who have posted. In the office I do not need, but to go on the production floor I need steel toe. Work pays for some of it, so I purchased good quality steel toe combat style work boots. I have become used to riding with them, I get the protection when I am riding and for work at the same time. Actually I wear them all day, sometimes they are a little hot, but I seam comfortable enough.
Yes the bigger toe does make it a bit more difficult to get under the shifter, but you get used to it and after a short bit you never notice it.
I then road around the block one time in running shoes and it was a big difference, I kinda missed the ridgy and safety of my boots.
Will I alway wear steel toes, probably not, one of my next purchases will probably be a proper pair of harness boots. But I really don't need them.
