have you found any boots that don't slip on wet steel? wet steel is just Sketchy...

I will say this. Wet steel is slippery with these boots. Scarily so.

If your into the moccasin style the bellevilles are worth a try for sure. Exactly how I've thought of them and more than one person has commented the same. I'll still rave about'em for minimalist boots and I hope I can get back to wearing them more. A lot of the upper around the ankles is cordura, with a leather bootie around the foot, and a sheet of vibram underfoot. that's it. super lightweight, flexible and great for stalking, excellent natural foot flexing grip on rocks or terrain, the sole tread is somewhere between the Jim Green and the vivos but I'd say closer to JG.

I guess they're just a little too minimal for my daily wear at this point because I've been in the vivos for like 2 weeks now and my chronic foot ache is diminished significantly. I've worn out maybe 4 pairs of bellevilles the last 2yrs since I switched to mainly those on the daily, but the foot ache has been buggin me bad for a few months now.
Got jabbed right in the big toe through the bottom by a mesquite today because the vivos are waaay more comfortable than my safety boots and we were only working on a nasty tree for like an hr. wasn't even that big of thorns, but big enough...
