This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of steel toe boots against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The expert instructor demonstrates that while steel toe boots can stop smaller caliber rounds like .22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, and .45 ACP, they fail to stop higher-powered rounds such as the .44 Magnum, .50 AE, and .50 BMG, which penetrate the boots and the mannequin used for testing. The demonstration highlights the limitations of standard footwear against significant ballistic threats.

This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against Caterpillar steel-toe boots. Traditional bows (100-200 fps) and compound bows (300 fps) failed to penetrate the steel toe, only damaging the leather. A high-powered TenPoint crossbow (470 fps) also could not penetrate the steel toe, though it severely bent and destroyed the arrow tips.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of Caterpillar steel toe boots against various firearms. While the steel toe plates successfully stopped handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP, larger calibers such as .50 AE and .500 S&W Magnum required two boots for complete stoppage.
