I know I'm late to the conversation and am too lazy to read all the way through so maybe this has been mentioned. I have a 76DT400 and wouldn't dare kick it over without boots on and even at that I could sometimes get a bruise on the arch in my foot. I decided to install the Vape 12v system and now have no fear kicking it over with sketchers "go walk" shoes on and those soles are very soft. Just thought I'd put that out there for ya.
