[TheForge] No idea too hare-brained

[Jerry Frost]

I haven't worn steel toes since phenolic toes became available. It 
doesn't take very long at all on your knees welding on steel before the 
leather wears through to the caps. Once that happens you get the 
delightful surprise of finding out sweat is an excellent conductor when 
you mistakenly touch metal changing rods.

I have no idea why but the phenolic toes don't wear through the boot 
toes like steel  toes, doesn't make sense to me but what is is. The last 
time I looked they were no longer called steel toes but *safety toes*. 
Safety *boots *on the other hand have to have anti puncture shanks. 
Darn, I can't recall what it's called but it's a springy steel insole 
running from your toes to your heel.

*GEEZ *what you remember from old jobs!
