Thanks, Gurney. Actually, it's Ranger 1 lookin' for 'em. The only steel-toed boots I wear anymore are fire boots. Thirty below and a four hour working fire and one's toes do go numb and worse, the rubber freezes so that the water we use provides us with a skating rink. Once had a 44 mm hose on low pressure push my partner and me about fifty feet beckwards. Slid all the way.

You mentioned miners' boots. ????
