Brimic: true, but $100 is not the MSRP, and i also don't plan on using these for heavy work. also, my current pair of work boots, Wolverine lacers with a steel toe and rubber toecap, metguard, 8" shaft - they cost $102.00 and have taken me to hell and back. they're about a year old and barely show wear.
huck Phinn: by support, what do you mean? arch support? or, perhaps ankle support, as evidenced by your story? even so, they're atleast not any worse than sneakers.
now, i would buy two pairs, but i can't afford it, [well, i could, but i'm a cheapskate]. my current boots are doing fine except for the crack in the sole. i do have another pair that i could wear but they need some kinda heel spacer.
