ROMOS, has steel-toed work boots which keep rubbing holes in the toe of his socks.
ROMOS, placed a strip of plaster/band-aid across the inside top of his boot, but we have doubts this will last long.
Have any of you (men in particularly) experienced this problem in the past and what was the solution?
**Exchanging the boots for another pair or throwing them away are not options.**
I found a pair of ballerina toe inserts on a popular website, but ROMOS is not much of a"twinkle-toes".
This is a serious question and I am asking for serious answers.

Best answer!
Seeing as how the bandaid is working so far,but probably not for long,why not cut out a piece of leather to cover the metal and glue on with super glue,and a good brand of super glue.you could even cut out 2 pieces of leather and glue them together before glueing to toe of boot,that should last to the end of the boots life..this guy Hank has 5 tips worth reading,,up to you,let me know how the story pans out.. >>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..http://www.hanksclothing.com/blog/2013/02/5-tips-for-comfortable-steel-toe-boots/

You want serious answers only for a question like this? You’re no fun but here is the answers I’ve been given: the boots aren’t well fitting, the toe shouldn’t touch/reach the tip, Alas, this leaves the sock itself. Don’t buy cheap socks. Quality shouldnt wear like you described. Me? I’d reinfo the toe before wearing. Weave in extra yarn to thicken the toe except given that the boots are I’ll-fitting, you don’t have room to play. Leather would work as it’s thin enough to fit the foot. Maybe. There is no law stating the toe must be covered by a sock. Cut the toe out and stitch to keep it from unraveling. I wish I had more imagination. Sorry....

An extra pair of woolly socks might help.
I would give that a try.
