Silly boots question

[Taffy Jack]

Are the Kilttie & Looger boots Steel Capped?
They are rather fabulous as well (and stop I really don't need more boots or shoes... but I could wear them at work and with kilts that makes it practical doesn't it????)

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

P.S. My most recent clompers came from Nick's Boots in Spokane, WA (http://nicksboots.com/). White's / Hathorn (http://www.whitesboots.com) is the more famous brand there and has fancier options, but I tend to prefer Nick's. Both have off-the-shelf as well as custom-built options, and either will keep your feet's precise dimensions on file until you die. Have fun!

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
