Both steel toe and aluminum toe shoes meet or exceed the ASTM standards for impact and compression testing of I-75/C75. The main difference between steel toe and aluminum toe shoes is the weight. Aluminum toe shoes are lighter than steel toe shoes.
Composit toe shoes or boots will feel lighter than their steel toe counterparts.
Composite toe shoes are made up of composite materials, such as plastic and carbon fiber. A steel toe shoe is made up of only steel.
Try steel toe safety guards. They attach externally to your shoe, and are removable. That is your only option. Just buy steel toe boots.

Steel toe boots are made in the same way as non steel toe boots. The difference is that during the lasting process a steel toe is added. After the lasting process the shoes are ready to have the outsole attached to it. If the boots come with a steel mid plate, then these are added after the lasting and before adding the outsole.
My Timberland Steel toe was tore open after 2 months of use and the tear exposed a rusty steel toe. I was surprised to see my feet being protected by rusty metal.

Composite toe and steel toe safety shoes have the same function and meet the same standards, so they are interchangeable in most circumstances. Composite might be preferred to steel if you are working around electricity or in cold environments.
