Iron slippers are used by Federal Reserve employees, but a fallen gold ingot can break toes even through thick shoes.
The claim that iron slippers are used by Federal Reserve employees is false due to lack of evidence and confirms it being a misconception. For the claim regarding gold ingots, evidence from safety sources suggests heavy objects like gold ingots can cause injury, supporting the plausibility of toe injuries from falling ingots. However, whether thick shoes can't protect requires further technical details on shoe material and design which are absent.
