[@ajjdgj6tmgedvnmtmek]

@@section7173 Since the 1970s when couch foam basically became napalm when lighted, there's been a huge regulatory effort to require anti-melting and flame-retardant chemicals in synthetic home goods. It's why nearly everything comes with a tag that says it's "all new", since that means that it's compliant with current fire safety practices at time of manufacture, and doesn't use repurposed old stuff that's less fire resistant. Synthetic materials are perfectly fire safe if made correctly: Nomex is the standard material for firefighting equipment, race jumpsuits, and aircraft flight jumpsuits. Nomex is a synthetic but it melts at a high enough temperature that you can put it into a wood and charcoal fire and it will come out blackened but won't have caught fire itself. To actually make nomex catch you need a decently long contact time with something hotter, in the range from jet fuel to red hot metal.

Just leather, thick wool felt, cork and some rubber. The thing with "eco-friendly" shoes made with cheap and low quality materials - they don't last and thus have much worse impact on environment. Real eco-friendly things are serviceable and made to be used for years.

[@ajjdgj6tmgedvnmtmek]

In any cemented boot or shoe construction, the designers basically don't worry about longevity because they cannot effectively be resoled. They're intended to be worn through and tossed. This is as true of Timberland boots as it is of Uggs. The eco-friendly argument is kind of stupid because the real issue isn't with the products going into landfills but the landfills themselves. There's tons of better ways to deal with waste than throwing it in a pit and ignoring it.

The reason I picked them up is because I love the classic Ugg boot and have been wearing them since 1986 and only on my second pair - I'm really into the "barefoot shoe" movement and was looking for something I could wear in cold snowy wet weather - My plan is to bring them to a shoe guy and have him slice the foam sole so it's one thickness (zero rise) and have a vibram rubber sole glued on....

About commitment for one or another solution for sustainability... I'm with you, very often it's more to please as many people as possible. But also, we know only after a while if a choice is really eco-friendly and sustainable. Using grocery bags made of cloth, for example, seems a good idea, since when you finally throw them away, they will decompose way faster than plastic. But, it takes a lot more resources to make them: water, land, etc. To the point you would need to reuse a bag more than 5000 times to compensate for that. And the list is long.

You were talking about rip stop fabric. Rip Stop is a weave construction that’s actually a modified plain weave. It’s initial use was in sail cloth and in military fabric that required it’s properties of toughness. It can be poorly constructed by having a low thread count in the warp of the fabric plus the same in the filling or weft direction. In regards to Lycocell, it’s a rayon yarn that’s primarily made from pine. Rayon and acetate are both semi-synthetic fibers. I say semi-synthetic because both are made from a plant based cellulose material versus other synthetic fibers that are hydrocarbon based material such as nylon and polyester. Rayon was the first man made fiber with its origins going back to the very late 1800’s but primarily got its real start around 1910. Rayon can be produced from any cellulose material such as cotton linters or bamboo. What’s important is the amount of pure cellulose available verses impurities such as hemi-cellulose. I don’t see where Lycocell has any properties that would improve thermal protection in a boot. There’s nothing wrong with this fiber, just a wrong application in this instance. I hope you find this useful. Before I forget, I’m a big fan and I try to watch all your boot videos. I most often watch you on KZbin over my Fire TV. I had to use my iPhone to send you this message as I can’t do it over my TV. Thank You very much for the service you provide Regards, Steve Self
