I recall seeing the same in my teens in the 1960s on building sites where I used to get summer holiday work as a labourer, shoes or wellingtons(with the tops turned down) were the standard wear, very few wore boots.
I saved up and bought myself some Tuff boots for about 39/11d, a whole penny short of two quid!

I think it depended on the company Duncan. At this apprentice school we were told we must wear steel toecapped boots. We were even told what overalls to buy, and from which shop.
