Finding Vegan Steel Toe Boots in the USA

Question

I'm Having a hell of a time finding vegan work shoes. Just got hired at a warehouse and they want us to have water, puncture, & slip resistant steel toe boots (preferably with insoles as I will be on my feet in a fast paced environment for 10-12 hours a day). The job will cover anything 150USD or less so I'm looking in that range but several websites either don't currently ship to the USA (likely due to orange man's tariffs on Canada and Europe), don't have my size (US 11) or don't comply with US OSHA safety regulations/ have the specific qualities my job is going to require in order to reimburse me.

I currently have no money to my name and my mom is being generous enough to front me on it, but if I end up getting boots that they wont pay for because it isn't up to their standards, my mom will be stuck on that money she really needs until my first paycheck. If anyone could help or give recommendations, I'd really appreciate it. I really don't want to have to take the leather boots they give out there.

For reference, I've already looked at vegetarianshoes, STCfootwear, Will's vegan store, and a few more but those were way out of price range. I've never worked anywhere like this with strict safety codes and I'm a fairly new vegan so I don't even really know what I'm looking for exactly. Making this post pretty late so might have to get to any replies tomorrow.
