all this talk about footwear... I'm not 100% sure how this comes into play for this topic. i mean, obviously workboots lock in more heat than sandals or "toe shoes"...  ... but since when did feet become the most important area to keep cool? for five years I've worked in brutal south-Louisiana heat and my workboots were never an issue. In my experience, everything from the waist up is what needs to be kept cool. keeping your cute little toes cool is a luxury.

yeah i wear 1000gram insulated boots year round and you don't see me bitching either

just pound water and take continuous breaks in the shade so you don't get heat stroke

Maybe it's just me, but if my feet are in boots they tend to become hotter than if I were to wear tennis shoes or sandals. I sweat 2x as much when I wear boots as when i wear sandals, and close to that when I wear tennis shoes. I take off my boots when I enter my house after work, and within 20 minutes I feel what has to be 5 degrees cooler.  This isn't really an issue today, but we're talking about a scenario in which you may not have the luxury of a readily available (and safe) water source that you can depend on for re-hydration, making the amount your feet sweat and your total body temperature (and therefore how much the rest of your body sweats) something to monitor closely.
