I’ve had… three separate employers provide me steel toe boots. (Well, had me buy some and reimbursed it.) All allowed me to keep them.
I think it’s mostly just a matter of people’s feet varying in size so much it’s not worth the hassle to try and provide them directly or get them back after, because I’ve had uniform shirts and pants and things taken back, washed, and given to someone else… just never shoes.
