Yes and no on the steel toes, if the steel toe gets crushed you lose toes rather than just have broken toes. Saw it happen at work quite some time back. The back of the steel toe got crushed down and cut 2 of my friends toes off.They do get cold as mentioned too.

(Not sure if they would have been lost anyway or not.)

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
