    Around here temperature varies from under -30c to over +30c depending on what season it is and construction workers still wear them every work day.

        Welcome to Quebec, if you’re unlucky you also live in a region with high humidity so the temperature felt ranges from over 40c to under -45c…

        I’m guessing Canada. We get similar temp range in north central and north eastern US.

        I’m in the Rocky Mountains, and our range is -15C to 40C (5F to 105F), and I wear my steel toe boots to shovel snow in the winter and garden in the summer. Oh, and I wear the same wool socks in both seasons, which keep my feet warm in the winter and dry in the summer.

        Parts of the US (and probably Canada) get to -40.

          Many boots now use composite fibres for toe and shank protection simply because of the problems with metal and cold.
