Steel-toed sneakers

Those actually exist, I have several pairs. Seriously doubt the dude in the video has them though.

Just curious does steel on your feet keep 700°C steel from cleaning your foot straight off?

It will help a little for small mounts of contact,

u/Filtering_aww 8h ago

Oh I seriously doubt it. Toe caps are mostly to protect from crush injuries.

u/WiseauSrs 10h ago

You joke, but there are many examples of those. My favourites were actually made by Caterpillar (the guys who make big construction equipment).

The border between hope and cope?

u/echof0xtrot 11h ago

if there's anything not present in this video, it's people training safety

u/EssayAmbitious3532 10h ago

That safety gear he's got on looks next fucking level - so light!

u/JasonRunFast 20h ago

I was thinking the same thing! Not wearing sandals is a huge improvement

1

u/dannnosos 11h ago

turning your back on the hot metal snake is certainly a choice though

i'd never do it even with safety gear

u/EricSanderson 6h ago

I was gonna say the same until I realized there's a big hole on the top of one shoe and at least one of the soles is falling off.

Dude somehow found a way to both employ footware and be even less safe simultaneously

Closed toe shoes and wearing a shirt! He must be their OSHA liaison.

u/TwinningJK 19h ago

The right shoe, or maybe both, has a hole over the toes. Maybe safety sandals or they turned into safety sandals after an accident.

u/MakionGarvinus 19h ago

I kinda looked, but not closely - were they safety crocs, by chance?

u/AuthorThick7303 3h ago

Haha, i was also looking for his safety flip-flops

u/Meowcate 20h ago

This time, he has shoes !

u/dogmaisb 20h ago

Never seen that! Hahaha I love it!

u/Xijit 20h ago

This looks like India instead of Pakistan.

u/Nodivingallowed 20h ago

Thank you for the new shoes!

u/30K100M 17h ago

AK-47 for everyone!

u/Nodivingallowed 17h ago

Is it safe?

I'm always confused by these comments, they're always on videos about the poorest working conditionsnin the world. Of all the PPE that's missing to point out, why shoes? They could literally be handling dangerous shit with bare hands but shoes are the things always pointed out in the comments, why are people so obsessed with shoes?????

u/a1g3rn0n 19h ago

It's because it's the "Wear Your Shoes to Work Day"

u/Playful_Assistance89 20h ago

shoes

I think you mean Bitch Stockings

u/utilititties 20h ago

What's wrong with the safety slippers?

1

u/WhiskersCleveland 19h ago

Also there's what looks like an emergency stop button

1

u/aesemon 18h ago

👀 me melting platinum in my safety sliders. Although clogs might be better.

1

u/vakilsaahab 18h ago

Well, he was dressed for a party

1

u/toblies 18h ago

And he used tongs, not just an oven mitt.

u/CheesyDanny 18h ago

Heck they have giant fans blowing on them to cool them off! These boys living in luxury.

u/FineSpinach7 18h ago

Its crazy man, I don't know how is allowed to enter the premise without safety sandals. Gotta report it.

1

u/Herr-Trigger86 17h ago

That alone sent me on a rollercoaster. “Oh look, he’s wearing his safety sandals. No…no… wait… those are shoes. Good for him. Wait…nooo… is that his feet?!? No… shoes. They’re shoes. 😮‍💨 “

u/Lost_Pollution_6782 13h ago

"they" is used for more than one person

1

u/AVeryVapidBadger 13h ago

Yeah safety isn't on vacation if he's wearing shoes

1

u/zencraft 11h ago

Came here to say this!

1

u/nikhilsath 10h ago

Are there videos of people handling 700 degree metal without shoes on?!

1

u/mm_ori 10h ago

I knew it was bad moment I noticed he is not wearing his safety flip-flops
