- What the fuck future boots is Glenn wearing?!Nairn
- Nairn, The boots are aluminized nomex. The “aluminumization” of the material makes it like a flexible mirror, reflecting heat off of it rather than absorbing.GM278

- Ooh, cool - although Glenn's don't look particularly like aluminium. They almost look like force fields, or something :)
