I don't think your source of information is very reliable.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2021-12-15 at 8:17 AM UTCIt only take 5800 pounds to cut your toe off with steel toe plates in the boots.
5800 pounds from a wheel running over a boot without steel toe plates however may break bones in the toe or cause serious muscle tearing or smashing of limbs and the toenail might be damaged of either falling off or not growing back ever again. but with a steel toe plate, at 5800 pounds the metal plate would cut your toes right in half.
and a forklift might only weigh 2000 pounds at best, but if it has a shitload of metal pipes or furniture and the forklift front wheel runs over your toe, it could crush the steel toe plate enough to cut off the top portion of the feet, usually just over the toe region itself
So Yes, it's a real thing. Its best just to wear regular work boots -

the issue is that when a heavy load drops on the steel toe, it can compress the steel down onto your toes forcing amputation because they can't pry the cap back open with your toes in there
a lot of them use plastic or composites now because they shatter under pressure rather than deforming -

Ya I wear 15 they used to make em in that size or maybe I was so young it was 14 last time I bought them but it was prolly 15.
Check out grinder boots or vegetarian boots they are pretty sick too.
Redwings or docs are best tho fo sho.
