[QUOTE="Steersman, post: 90767, member: 239"][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5]I've never seen any, but guys that used to work in steel mills and such have told me about wearing wooden shoes or clogs of some sort in high heat environments. They said they'd put a sort of fireman's suit on and could only stand to do the task for a brief period. The heat of the surface they had to stand on would burn their feet through their boots. That said, I'm leaning towards a pattern or last application for these. They just sort of reminded me of bringing a board to stand on while working on steel barges in the summer.
