We have all seen the ads for these indestructible shoes and I've always wondered what makes them indestructible so I bought a pair to cut them in half. I also decided last minute to do a puncture test of the utmost scientific quality to see how many pounds of force it takes to push a nail through the indestructible shoes.

The advertisement tests stepping on multiple nails actually spreads the pressure decreasing the chances of getting a puncture. At least that's what I think.
It’s the same principle as lying down on a bed of nails
Agreed. It's not false advertising as long as they don't claim puncture proof, puncture resistant sure. Everything is puncture resistant to some extent.
Yup! Stress is force divided by the area it is applied on. Having multiple nails distributes the force and therefore each point experiences less stress like you said.
Yes definitely. I don't recall ever stepping on a bed of nails, but have many times stepped on a single protruding nail and luckily the bottom of my workboot managed to prevent puncture. Actually watching his video and showing the lack of nail protection on the outer edges, I really need to take a closer look at my own workshoes. I have had times where a nail has come in sideways as he described in the video.
It's similar to a bed of nails, but it's less about force or pressure and more about friction. A nail is pretty much a zero-area point load (if you want to calculate the area of the point of a nail, assuming it's slightly blunt, it would be about 0.01 in^2, and a 200 lb person would exert about 40k psi on a nail). So 20k psi, even divided among 5 nails is 4k psi. So still a ton of pressure. Same goes for force. A bed of nails has hundred of nails, and truly does spread out the force and pressure. Adding more nails increases the friction and increases the force required to get it to puncture.
I don't trust a single ad from Instagram, FB, or TikTok, period
Smart
Its like reverse what they want and its glorious lol
It's funny how literally everybody knows not to trust those wanky ads 😂. There must be some reverse psychology somewhere! Like maybe somewhere else the same company advertises to be the official brand of this shoe and charges 3x as much?
@@jesmondo5785 they do it because it DOES work, not on you or me, but if it didnt work you wouldnt see the ads in the first place
The whole purpose of those ads is for u to make a quick impulsive trash purchase 😂😂😂
Also you have to realize they advertise them stepping on multiple nails at once. This distributes the weight. It's the same way you can lay on a bed of nails without being hurt.
Try stepping on 3 nails and see if that works the same distribution as bed of nails
@@MichaelHarto You're missing the point
@RSh-12 try it
@@webpombo7765 the point is weight distribution, it's not magic. Adding a few nails doesn't mean you can avoid being punctured. You need a certain amount of nails to distribute weight safely without puncturing. That's why bed of nails is FILLED with nails.
This is a very good point. The more nails the harder to puncture.
(The worst thing is that it might LOOK more impressive with 3 nails instead of 1 when it really is the other way around)
When I worked at Fed Ex, we were very much actively encouraged to specifically purchase these shoes. They had ads for them on every screen in the warehouse, all of the managers wore them, and at orientation they had a QR code for the website they had everybody scan to purchase shoes from.
My pair was around $45. It lasted about a month, and I worked ~part time hours with some overtime (30-35 hours a week). It did not stop nails and other sharp objects from piercing the shoes. the steel toe bent and injured my toes. They were extremely uncomfortable, and even with the cheap insole, id leave my 6-7 hour shift with borderline crippling foot pain.
And I obviously wasn’t the only one. Pretty much everyone I talked to their hated these shoes and opted to get either more comfortable shoes or more durable work boots after they inevitably fell apart after a month. Management still swore by them though, and called us clumsy and stupid. Have to think if there was some kind of incentive or something.
ps fed ex sucks for the love of god don’t work there
Someone was getting a cut of the profits. And clumsy? If the shoes dont last a year in a basic work environment, then clumsy is not the reason. Poor construction is.
How are you stepping on nails at Fed Ex? It's not a construction site.
@@ThatGotDaymBoogie you deliver to construction sites thoooooooooooooooo ;D
@@ThatGotDaymBoogie makes a good story
Those don't look like shoes I would wear to work. I all depends what type of work you do. If you are management and sit at a desk most of the time or walk on carpet, those shoes might last a long time. I might wear those to the beach to protect my feet from rocks on the lakebed.

The advertising for these is really dangerous and unethical. It's only a matter of time until somebody buys these and stomps on a nail to show off their 'indestructible' shoes and ends up in the ER. These things are a lawsuit ticking timebomb. Thanks for making this video and exposing these for what they are, you're doing a good thing.
It think they have warnings in fine print to cover there a$$es
Who is going to get sued? Some nameless Chinese factory that will change names and continue to make them?
@@dsbiddle Yeah not even them because they aren't making the commercial. Its like alot of things on amazon all made in China with different company names slapped on it. I didn't realize how bad it was until I was looking for a docking station for my work laptop. well over 1/2 of what it found was the exact same thing just with a different name on it.
Good luck finding out who originally made them. They probably got bought and rebrandet half a dozen times.
And I'd imagine the reason that standing on the multiple nails in their advertising and tested by Rose Anvil worked because the nails distributed the weight between three/four nails.
If the material [which i dont think is kevlar] was able to resist 135lbs just before the full weight was applied for the most part, if you divide that between the nails you get 1/3rd or 1/4th the pressure per nail and since it looks like it took near 100lbs to pierce, there is no way multiple nails would pierce it - unless it pierced where the material wasn't present.
The secret to Kevlar is that it's specifically not puncture-resistance. The fibers work against projectiles by "catching" them like a net. They can be easily cut by knives, spikes, etc. This is why separate stab-proof vests are made.
So you can sugest something better ?
@@inominado1975 to Kevlar or the shoes? For Kevlar, far better stab resistant options exist and there are even body armor vests that are both bullet and blade/stab resistant. For the shoes, literally any brand of reputable work boots would make better footwear. If you want boots that are puncture resistant that use aramid fibers like Kevlar then Nike makes desert boots that are advertised as using Kevlar in the soles
@@inominado1975Vietnam era jungle boots had steel plates in it incase you fell in a trap
"Bro how much can you lift?"
"Oh, like 4 early 1900s dental lathes"
I ironically never got ads for these shoes untill i started watching this channel
i see them on * not in * construction videos
Welcome to the demograph.
If I was the manufacturer, I’d be furious that my ad spend was being targeted so badly.
Imagine paying for ads, only for the ad to be shown to people who already know how shit your product is!

It’s not Kevlar.
Cutting Kevlar fibres with normal blades is very difficult and leaves a ragged, fuzzy edge where the strands are not cleanly cut but abraded or sawn. You were able to cut perfect little circles with a fine scalpel with no apparent difficulty (you didn’t say, so I assume you didn’t find it worthy of mention).
It’s also difficult to dye Kevlar, so it’s almost always left in the raw colour state of light yellow. Those soles look pure white.
Kevlar is also very expensive (almost as much as carbon fibre), so a pair of soles that thick would cost more than the 45 bucks you paid for the whole shoes (Amazon is now offering a similar pair for £20.60, or about US$ 25).
haha funny that u say that , i would be asking ,is that real kevlar
wonder whether it could be a low grade aramid stitched into a canvas? Since Kevlar is just DuPont's name for the material, maybe it's at least a bit cheaper to integrade into the fabrics? thoughts?
@@Clove_Parma Sounds like it yeah, there are relatively cheap aramids that are waaaay below the level of ''Kevlar''
Yes, you are right, I work for a company that produces these types of materials for all the big brands that make safety shoes, this is a very thin layer of thermofixed polyester weave, usually, there are 2 to 3 layers glued together with reactive polyurethane and a layer of special resin for added strength. 1 square meter of regular material cost from 12-20 euros, the ones with a layer of kevlar costs 80 to 90euros a SQM.
Kevlar being a trademark (but referred to as Kleenex is tissue paper), it may just be some crappy, super thin layerered generic version.
This is why you always see these "test" using multiple nails. It allows them to distribute the total load over a larger surface area and reduce the stress at any one point. It's the bed of nails -shoe edition-
They are 100% a cheap gimmick. I ordered a pair and it took like 4 months for them to arrive. When they did, the rubber where the shoelace goes through immidetaly broke. Got in touch with customer service and they promised me a new pair. 1 and half years later and they still haven't sent me the new pair and their customer support is ignoring me.
“We’re gonna run tests to see if These shoes are actually indestructible.”
One Single test later: “yea they’re not indestructible...”
He didn't even attempt to puncture the kevlar WITH the rubber outsole. He did individual tests of JUST the kevlar seperated from the outsole. Terrible testing...
@@oh1125 That´s because it would make no difference: it can already pierce the rubber layer more easily then the kevlar. If you put all your bodyweight on your foot, IF it can already pierce the "protective layer" of the kevlar, then that little rubber wont be much of a problem. It would have maybe made a difference, if the protective layer was on the outside and the rubber inside ( as a cushion for example).
Lmao it was over the moment he cut into it the term indestructible means it can't be destroyed tearing into it meant it could be destroyed therefore it's already a lawsuit based on name alone😂
@@codyhill2311 you're stupid if you really think thats how that works
So if it goes thru one sheet then it will go thru 50 sheets too? That's not how it works
Talking about puncture resistance of PVC soles while wearing a Vibram cap. That sarcasm is legendary. :D
I looked at these shoes, excited to hopefully use them on my interior construction sites. Being mobile throughout the city, I do a lot of walking and hate changing to runners between sites. Upon asking if they were CSA approved, they had said "not yet". I even looked into having a mobile CSA rep test/review them and they refused. I did find in my research, the threshold for CSA approved puncture resistance/proofing is approx 350 lbs on 1 nail. It is supposed to replicate a large person walking and unknowingly stepping on a single nail. Safe to say these would indeed fail, but I do hope in the future they can create something up to this standard.
They're only good for roofing. The complete lack of sole and cushion support will leave your feet feeling like a 8hr day was 14 on non stop ladders. Trust me these shoes only shine on a roof where the steel toe prevents crunching of the toes on steep roofs.
Great video. I’ve been selling work boots for over 10 years and I cannot even begin to tell you how big of scam this shoe is. I don’t have enough time to list half of them. First of all never trust a puncture resistant shoe or boot that doesn’t have a green ‘CSA’ triangle on the tongue. The puncture resistant material should be at lest 10 times thicker, even then, thinner nails like roofing nails will still make it thru with enough weight. A half decent work shoe shouldn’t flex like that, it means whoever made this shoe knows nothing about footwear, or they were too cheap to use the extra materials and labor. I am shocked that these are still allowed on the market in the USA. This company will have a class action lawsuit filed against them.
Your mom scammed us
You can't sue a Chinese factory that pumps them out under 30 different names
Quick question, what are some reputable shoes?
I cant even trust Danners bc theyre made in China. Looking to upgrade soon but idk what to buy. My range is 300$ for work boots.
This is like a little mini Mythbusters episode. I love the work you put into these videos and how you’re completely up front about your limitations in testing and how well you explain everything. To the point that someone like me, who hasn’t been near shop equipment since the 8th grade can still understand all your results and your testing methods.
Except for the very fatal flaw that the cheap amazon knockoffs are a terrible baseline compared to the legit brand 70-130 dollar shoes and boots, and his initial "testing" being if you would be fine standing still as someone started to saw your shoe and foot in half, saying this is a mini mythbusters episode is an insult to mythbusters and all of science
This kind of shoe reminds of those worn by those workers in my parent's factory back in China. Most of them can't afford or just unwilling to pay the money for work shoes like Timberland, so they choose this kind of shoes which are often made by the factories that used to produce military canvas shoes before the Chinese army updated its uniform. Very cheap, probably less than five dollars. This shoe has a somewhat breathable upper which is an upgrade, but I highly doubt it is anything significant in terms of an increase in production cost.
In that case, these shoes serve them well, more protection than average sneakers.
I dont know how you guys do it
I have a pair of typical black chinese slip on shoes with the white shoe lace thin accent & it is literally a sheet of bald car tire tread with a napkin for an insole
it hurts to walk in them than bear foot, god damn
@@Eduardo_Espinoza I think for many people in this world, shoes are just shoes, and as long as they can cover the feet with some protection they are satisfied. Poor people ( and I am talking real poor people earning less than 3 dollars per day without government subsidy, still pretty common in China today) just don't have the luxury of thinking about comfort.
解放鞋 right? They were basically the go to shoe for everything except serious sports for a while and is the definitive working class shoe.
I would also say that I notice in Asia, workers have a preference for light weight and flexible footwear over clunky heavy boots. In Japan workers wear tabi jika which are basically canvas sneakers as well unless they are doing electrical work or welding.
As a construction worker. I can tell you that Timberlands are NOT real work boots. They are dress boots with a "I pretend to work for a living" look. A job site will eat them up in less than a week.
I work construction and i've seen these advertised to me 1 time. That's all. They never looked feasible to me. I've seen the 1 ad where they push them as safe work boot replacements, and i raised an eyebrow immediately.
Theyre "indestructible" IF you're used to wearing cheap flip-flops in Asia...
that is raicist…
@@shelovesthecoco3037 ah a snowflake. What calling them flip flops is racist? Or the fact that an area of the world is called asia?
@@shelovesthecoco3037 he didn't say that tho

I love how you jury-rigged a testing setup. That is ingenious creativity.
That invention is awesome
I am not sure how I ended up watching your Channel or why I keep watching shoes and boots, that I probably will never buy, being torn apart but it is fascinating.
I bought these for 40 euros two months ago. I'm an Extruder Operator (plastic extrusion) so I have no dealings with nails, but it has protected my toes from heavy items falling on them, quite a few times already. They are light, easy to put on and off, they don't slip, and there's good air flow.
Overall, I'd say they are fairly priced shoes that get the job done.
I just bought them for the steel caps, these shoes are comfortable to wear when I was working in a factory. Can't complain for the price.
They are drop shipped shoes. They are even cheaper. Mark ups are like 100% on these things. Wholesale will run you $5 but individually you can still get them for like 10 bucks. I just dont understand how people fall for this stuff. I can get cole haan shoes for like 30 bucks on sale. Why waste your time with this junk... especially paying someone else to ship you the item from a Chinese vendor instead of just ordering directly.
@@beaubreau cause most people don't have to stress over a few bucks unless you suck with your finances. I couldn't care less how cheap they are.

I've been watching so much Project Farm recently and I think a similar style of testing and objectively establishing pros and cons of similar products could make for a good side series for this channel
Testing real safety shoes would be really interesting. Additionally you could also explore several aspects of ergonomics both for safety and fashion shoes. For example weight distribution, stability, ankle support, breathability, etc.
One test I would really like to see for all shoes before you destroy them is how slippery are they in wet metal. I have danced many times on top of metal lids escalators and so on, because of some crappy soles (vibram you should be in the skating business!!). The test could be a 45 angle wet metal lid a shoe with a heavy weight on top and measure how fast it slips down the lid. Many safety shoes do have indeed anti-slip soles, but most fashion and hiking shoes are complete crap in this respect.
Thanks for the videos
Good video! Been wondering about those. Also/ glad I'm not the only one getting blasted with those ads.
I just watched the add and looked up a review on CZcams and this was a better review then could have ever imagined amazing work
I think it's really awesome that you go through all that effort to try test these things with whatever you have
This is great, I love the level of detail in your shoetopsies.
Thanks for the video! I was looking at these on the website and glad I came here first. Really saved me a lot of money
nice vid man! I've been curious about these shoes, so seeing these real world tests is very helpful and informative :)
the dedication this guy has. Admirable.
I have operated with real army kevlar, and i tried to brutally stab it and cut it, and nothing happened.. nothing. So this kevlar is bad..
ya i wonder how ez it was 4 him to cut out the samples w/ his scissors
I've had to repair equipment that had kevlar tubing around the wires.
The moment of confusion when you try to use scissors or an utility blade without damaging wire and so on... and it does absolutely NOTHING...
It's some cheaper aramid. Kevlar is pretty expensive and a registered trademark of DuPont, Chinese shoes costing less than 50 bucks aren't going to have it.
If kevlar is bad... It's not kevlar 😅
Well it’s settled then I guess

Why do some of the people in my age need to have sneaker style shoes on the construction site??? I have shoes for safety and clothes for safety . Fashion isn't a thing of importance in this field of work .I want shoes that protect my ankle . Supports stepping on a ladder without bending flexing and slipping etc.
They're idiots. Plain and simple.
Some people just want more durable than average shoes. Nobody serious about construction would wear these unless they are on a crazy restricted budget.
adidas makes good work shoes that look like sneakers
There are places other than construction sites where toecaps are mandatory 😛
I used to work in a powder coating plant where it was fkin' hot, and any impact was going to be coming from above (objects falling from the overhead rail) so ankle protection wasn't such a concern. Plus anyone not actually working the line (e.g. supervisor, workers from other departments passing through) could easily avoid risk areas but needed toecaps *just to be allowed to walk through the room*.
Those of us on the line wore 'proper' safety boots, but I can understand why some of the other employees would wear bare-minimum-compliant shoes.
@@iamtoast3397 I understand your point but I am sure these toe caps don't protect you .These shoes are not certified so it could be more dangerous than wearing normal shoes .The cap could cut your toes of etc. My problem is that this product could give someone a false sense of safety
I got a pair of those as a cheap shoe I could wear to my food service job. One difference though: they were not branded and I got them for 5 bucks. They are actually pretty nice, though they definitely aren't meant for intense labor work.
Just discovered your channel....super Bad Ass! Thank you for taking the time to create these videos.
Some guys ad my job bought these, they all had them replaced within the year.
How long would shoes normally last? The biggest plus of these is their weight.
Any job that actually requires puncture resistance would never allow these. You'd need OSHA grade certifications.
T A a good pair of shoes should last longer than a year for sure.

I applaud you Sir, your approach was suprisingly scientific with great pains taken to be as good as can be for the situation. thank you.
I work in construction and got a pair of these because they sounded good but they didn’t last even a month before falling apart(the steel toe literally wore through the thin fabric and came out) and they never stopped any nails from going through either
Project Farm of boots and shoes?! YES PLEASE! Would love to see a work boot series, btw. That is where construction of the boot matters a lot, more so than casual/fashion shoes.

I am a professional haunted house actor. One of my favorite things to do is what's called "sliding." Basically, you wear knee pads and slide across concrete. I got these hoping that they would be able to withstand the pressure that that puts onto your toe, and within literally 2 days of stunt work (approximately 15 hours) one steel toe popped off, and the other was half-way off. I DO NOT recommend these at all! They totally let me down, especially for what I payed for them

Should have tested both of the soles together, the "Kevlar" and the rubber one
That makes no difference because he was testing how much weight it would take to puncture and once the total weight exceeds the limit of the material, increasing the amount of material will not increase the resistance of the puncture and the puncture would only be limited the the length of the object doing the puncturing.
@@DeamonReader While I agree that it wouldn't have made much difference in this case, more material does increase the puncture resistance, especially so for flexible cloth-like materials since you prevent them from stretching as much and spreading the fibers allowing the point of the nail to go between the fibers.
Yessssss would love to see these tests with intron like testing equipment!!
Thanks for doing this one! I looked at these but landed on the KEEN Redding mid work shoe. I'd love to see the latter cut up as well.
Myrhbusters did the steel toe crush test. It was an eye opening experiment. The problem I have always found is the weight if you get great protection your shoes seem to weight a ton.
So i bought a pair of these about 6 months ago and so far so good. They are weird at first because all the weight is at the toe but you get used to it. As far as indestructible goes. I have stepped on a lot of nails (not to test but just because of work) and so far none have gone through.
Yes they have exaggerated the performance of these shoes but I picked these shoes up for $13 at Gabe’s and honestly they are the best utility shoes I have ever purchased. It’s been 7 months of walking my son to school, yard work, fishing and trapping and they still operate on normal. I have owned and used a lot of shoes over my military career and these shoes have slip resistance, do offer ample toe protection and have some puncture protection most of all they are super comfortable. If you you can buy them for less than $50 then they are absolutely a good buy just my humble opinion.
great vid, also liked the asmr bits of cutting up the shoe.
my first thing with the steel cap is that with a shoe with a sole that soft, there's a real risk of the cap tipping back and literally cutting off your toes... :s it should be sturdily molded into the sole, not just standing on top of it (cheap work boots can have the same problem, i've heard some horror stories)
The amount force to buckle steel would obliterate ANY human parts. Theyve done multiple tests proving this. If you're afraid that 2k lbs of force will compromise the integrity of steel you should rethink how you operate in the work place; as there is nothing you can do to prevent that level of force. Also go read a book.
@@charlespanache7047 i'm quite clearly talking about the sole not being a sturdy material and the steel cap being able to tip back because of it (and by doing so cutting your toes off, which i have been shown pictures of when i was working at a construction site), not the steel cap itself breaking or bending?
obviously these shoes aren't meant for work like that, but in my opinion it can still pose a risk.
also, no need to be hostile for no reason :p
Professionals and people who really need "indestructible shoes" aren't buying these... these shoes are for kids, city dwellers or those who wear two condoms at once because "extra protection".
🤣🤣🤣
I am so glad you posted this video. I purchased these and the fit was poor and they are the least durable shoe I have owned. What's worse is that you can go to wish and buy exactly the same shoe for about £10.
I'm glad you reviewed these, I was considering buying them, but no more~!
I have a pair of these. Although I appreciate that they are lighter than a gimmicky work boot, they haven't been holding up well. I have never put them in a destructive environment, but they are starting to lose their soles and unravel from about 5 months of normal walking around the shop.
3:33 my favorite noise
I've don't think I've ever owned a pair of shoes that couldn't stand on a bed of nails safely.
The fact that you can get so much honesty from this guy is what made all of us subscribe i think

Same. We all knew it was bound to happen.
Imagine how many people have put nails through their feet testing these shoes 😬
Thank God I had the sense to actually look up a review of these instead of taking the word of a facebook ad.

Anyone who has ever stepped on a nail with a bare foot can tell you that you definitely don't want to ever even leave this to chance.
As soon as I started seeing ads for these shoes I knew they spent ALL of their production budget on advertisements instead of...you know...production.

I own a pair of these. After six months, the soles are starting to peel off from the rest of the shoes. Despite the fact the steel toes are a neat feature, especially for my trade, I don't really plan on getting another pair.
Came so close to getting a pair. Glad this popped up
3:33 my soul 😭
I hate that noise so much lol
Nikita Sidoryuk makes my spine twist and sends shivers up my back and neck. 🤢
Jello M8 AHHHHHHH! Stop!
the fact that shoes twist so easily sideways is such a bad thing for your feet. Nike marketed this downside as a "cool feature" and now people think its a sign of a good running shoe 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I really don't see how a shoe following the natural movement of your feet is a bad thing.
@@opnovice1055 do your feet naturally form the shape of a taco? or twist in a corkscrew 180 degrees?
@@evantansimore7634 no but they can twist a small amount, unless you can actually say what the problem is other than this dumb arguement dont comment
A shoe being able to roll into a ball isn't like a great feature, but it's not really bad either.
Obviously nobody's wearing running shoes with a shank, so what would be the optimum stiffness? Does a stiff running shoe have to fit your foot perfectly?
Look out boys we have an expert over here
I walk lightly so I'm not worried about nails. They are light and comfortable. Especially for the price. I owned a pair and they were awesome.
