Puncture-proof wooden sole safety boots are used by people at steel works or tarmac-laying sites. They insulate well, are puncture-proof and virtually indestructable. There is even a steel tread that can be nailed-on instead of rubber for better wear on hot surfaces. The leather version of the boot has an expensive safety testing certicate and a new certificate for a vegan version would be cheap. There's also a slight fashion market for people who's grandfathers wore things like this and are sick of disposable shoes. One of the interesting things about them is that the boss works on the cutting press: they are not made by the sort of firm that emails China for a container-load and then alters the design a few times at the last minute. The bad thing about these boots is that they make you look as though you've just come from a folk festival which is no way to get more shifts at a steel works or laying tarmac site if you've already said you're a vegan. |
