Silly boots question

[Terry Searl]

I know this question was addressed to Jock, but if I may jump in for a moment:

In the logging capitol of Christendom (Pacific NW U.S.A. and S.E. Canada), logging boots (and many other work boots) are available with leather toes, steel toe boxes, or fiber safety toes.

The fiber toes are safety-rated, and less chilly in the winter than good ol' steel. Also, they're said to reduce crushing injuries. When steel gets mashed onto your foot, it _stays_ mashed on.

Cheers,

Jack

When I worked in the bush and shops in the logging industry here on Vancouver Island, It was a mandatory that work boots have steel toes and I'm sure my toes were saved countless times because of it but like Taffy Jack says once the steel gets crushed it stays crushed......it's good to hear that fiber safety toes are an option
