I've moved your post to 'Lifestyle' as it isn't really 'News' as such and I wasn't sure where else it would fit in

I'm sure 12 tonne dickies can't be comfortable at all

You could try some steel toe capped (or titanium/composite) boots like these.

The magnum and swat ones are very comfy. In fact the Swat ones are almost trainer like in their feel and are dead easy to drive in. Plus they last for ages.

Why not just add some cushioning to the current ones?

I'm sure you'll soon get used to driving in them.
