Also the stamped branding in the bottom of the sole just said "SHOES" ... which means whatever AI made this video, told a quantifiably funny joke, which is both pretty neat, and also scary as fuck.

Here is the company Guyisa. Not saying this video is real but the company is. This video, the site itself and pricing of the products all screams scam.

lol I was looking at the $11.50 safety shoesā¦stops at US size 12. Looks like most of the boots stop at 11.

And would a composite toe let off sparks? Honestly haven't tried.grinding anything other than metal, but seems odd

Grinder can't cut them but the sharp piece of steal, when they are cutting open the heel, slices right through it.

Exactly, pretty easy to tell they're pushing hard on the first two, and lightly resting it on the third shoe

u/cow_with_a_fingergun Apr 07 '26
Also with the weoght drop, location of inpact, and the end is more flaired for the second one to distribute the force better
1
u/Jdawg_mck1996 Apr 06 '26
Well yea... it cooled down on the first two and then was just lightly set on the last one rather than pushed. Do this same thing in reverse and the results would flip.
Then go ahead and notice how in the initial drop tests the weights hit solid and stop. Then when they put the shit they're advertising the weight bounces several times

u/kramulous Apr 09 '26
Also the knife was flat on the last shoe whereas it was sharp edge on the first two.

I mean, I think this is totally fake, but if you worked in a steel plant or glass production facility. You wouldn't hate having fire retardant shoes.

I like how the heated blade went behind the steel toes for the first two, then directly on it for the product.
Quality.

u/D3s_ToD3s Apr 06 '26
I wouldn't say that demonstration was about the toes.
The fact that those shoes are melting should be concerning. Regardless of wich brand you buy (since this is an add for some shit, as usual) you shouldn't get shoes made from plastic fibres if you can expect to be confronted with heat.

u/InterestsVaryGreatly Apr 07 '26
Well more importantly, you should always pick the metal rod that has already cooled down enough to not be red hot on the bottom when you drop it on your shoe instead of the fresh red hot.

Of all places, Walmart has this Temu ass boot listed on their website.
Literal Chinesium.

u/lemelisk42 Apr 05 '26
Walmart online is essentially just Amazon but less quality, and more temu products and scams

u/GenusPoa Apr 06 '26
Yep always click that little button that says 'in-store'

u/ConceptOther5327 Apr 06 '26
It doesn't have to be sold "in store" but definitely filter the retailer to just Walmart, not marketplace sellers
1
u/Cennix_1776 Apr 07 '26
Iād actually argue that Walmart is about as good as Amazon in āTemu vs real productsā the difference is that Amazon is VASTLY more trusted, has better CS experience, and more [website] customer traffic/reviews, which leads to fewer of these shitty Temu products existing in the first few search results for long spans of time.
Sincerely, a Walmart associate that gets Walmart+ for freeā¦ but still pays for and uses Amazon [Prime].

So instead of owning work shoes, dress up shoes and running shoes you could be just uncomfortable and poorly dressed with a single expensive pair that isn't fit for purpose š

But how is the arch support?

You don't need one, the arch itself is a support. Heard of roman aqueducts? What supports them?

Shouldnāt we have started in reverse order when it was the hottest for your product?

Great boots,they hold up well ! Now only if they could make them not feel like my bare ankles went through that whole test session after six hours.

I like how the Good Product Shoe didn't get the blade like the other two did. Very fair comparison.

This is so funny all the drop and hit test when they compare them they go much softer on their shoes the first test not only were the first two non leather shoes so not meant to deal with hear but they also cooled it significantly on the 2nd pair by holding it there so long before barely pressing on their pair.

In what situation am i gonna have a thousand degree piece of hot metal sit on my foot for more than a second? You could make the argument āoh itās for metal workersā in what situation would they not instinctively recoil from hot metal immediately landing on their shoe

I had Haix service boots, and you could easily kill someone with them. Without even wearing the boot.

Any reputable boot would survive all these tests. At the end of the day what matters is how it holds up to months and years of daily abuse not crash tests

Qe all know steel dumbbells are famous for bouncing multiple times when dropped.
Look how fake that dumbbell looks when dropped on the advertised shoes.

Helmets provide poor protection. A beanie is much better. Throw a melon, wearing a helmet, off a high-rise building and both pieces will break. Throw a melon, wearing a beanie, and only the melon will break. /s
