murphy,
Sorry to hear about that. I had an accident a while back with my thumb and a knife so I feel your pain (literally.)
I always wear steel toed boots - I forget what brand and where I got em from. I want to say Costco but who knows. The big thing is to have some kind of foot protection whenever you're working. With me, its more likely that I drop a round on my toe or something which would hurt a lot too.
Regarding the Fiskars, I'm about your height and one thing I do to avoid my feet is bend my knees a lot. I end up in a sort of squat. If the Super Splitter glances off a round, it'll be nowhere near my feet.
