    Worked at a large factory that one section was very hot all year long. Mechanics would come into the shop after a full shift In hot rooms and removed steel toed work boots. Toes looked like they were sunburned. One by one they stopped wearing steel toed work boots. As an electrician we always had approved electrical work boots with non metallic toe protection and no metal shoe lace eyelets.

    Thank you for the info. Personally I don't like fake leather. I am a 365 days motorcycle rider and fake leather cannot last enough for it's price. Fake leather will brake apart, but real leather will keep going if you clean and use leather creme to keep it in top condition. Price difference: fake leather boots 175 euro. Real leather boots top quality: 300 euro. Fake leather: lasts: 2.5 ~ 3 years then it breaks, cannot prevent. Real leather boots, top quality can last let's say 10~15 years. So, you descide what you want. I tried, I think fake leather is rubbish.

    Can't believe it. Another 5 minute review of faux leather without a single word about how to care for it ~ who makes the best conditioner / treatment for faux leather furniture according to experts?.. or do they recommend anything at all be applied to them? If someone owns faux leather furniture why the hell would they not be interested in the correct way to care for it?.. What type and brand of treatments, conditioners, chemicals would be beneficial and which ones should be avoided? After all, who would be interested in useless information like that. Another useless video. What a joke.

    Your intention to show Toe caps history and evolution is trivial and informative. However, you made a huge mistake in using an image of HITLER to reference a period in time. That is extremely insensitive, offensive and reprehensible. Absolutely bad decision ( if it wasn't on purpose) to show your personal alignments with one of the worst war criminals in history! You could have EASILY chosen a different image from the same time period. Perhaps your being from South Africa, ( the accent giving it away) is part of why you did it on purpose. Absolutely Deplorable. Very tempted to report this garbage to KZread.

    When I first came to Finland I had steel toecaps in my insulated boots. The first time it snowed, I was shocked at how cold my toes got on a short walk. I felt that I was getting frostbite within a mile of leaving the house. Obviously I went and bought more suitable shoes the next day. Nowadays I live here and I don't recall ever seeing steel safety boots in the shops.

    @@ppelab6062 Yes, but in a side by side comparison of two similar garments, which actually makes you hotter, i.e. which will cause heat stroke faster under the same conditions? And how exactly is leather more breathable in any practical definition? I can breathe through a cotton shirt, but I can't breathe through leather. Does it dissipate heat slower or faster than PU leather? That's a valuable question. In practical terms, the "breathability" of leather is meaningless. PU might hold heat better, but it's thinner and lighter than leather, so heat might dissipate faster than it does from leather. It also hangs looser than leather, so it might circulate air better than leather, dissipating heat faster. I hear two different claims: people claiming PU won't make you as hot and is therefore an okay garment for summer (people speaking from personal experience), and people claiming that PU is hotter than leather and thus leather is better for summer wear (people who've made no A/B comparison). I have two leather outfits, and any time I wear them when the temperature is above 70 degrees, I get heat stroke. I used to shop at Walmart in leathers, and by the time I was ready to check out, I had heat stroke. It seems cool, but the reality is that it was wicking moisture away from my skin and giving me the illusion that I wasn't sweating that much. The only giveaway was the sweat pouring down my face. I was hoping for an actual scientific answer, but I guess nobody has ever done the sort of testing comparisons to determine emperically which material holds heat better in actual use conditions. That, or nobody seems to know of it, and they're just repeating the same old assumptions that PU is hotter. I'm guessing PU is actually cooler, just by experiential reports and by the fact that they use it in movies instead of leather because actors don't sweat as much. But I was hoping for some science, since subjective observations aren't as reliable.
