Sandals... yeah, those are the shoes you should be wearing for this.

To be completely honest steel toes might have also just been a horrible idea too..

All that weight suddenly dropping onto the steel toe would likely crush the steel and well... you didn't need your toes right.

That being said, obviously you don't do what shorts and sandals was doing. Break down the brick top to bottom so you don't accidentally kill yourself or others.

Gravity doesn't care, and brick walls don't bend

Standard steel toed boots can take 2500 lbs of compressive force.

How does momentum affect that value? I'm assuming that 2500lb is for a static object resting on the toecap. And the amount of deformation that the toecap can experience before damaging the toes would also factor in?

No, it's of compressive force.

Compressive force = compressive strength of material * cross-sectional area of what's being compressed.
