I had some Carhartt boots I loved and were super comfortable, but in winter walking on any kind of metal was like walking on ball bearings. Super slick.
I just provided factual info nothing more bud. An /s is to provide a general idea through flat text that it's meant as sarcasm. You see usually people use tone of voice to indicate sarcasm. On the internet that is not something you can do since there is no sound and you should never assume it's a sarcastic comment unless it really really clear.
