and pretty sure they didn't use a sliderule for the moonboots.
They had to calculate the pressures and temperatures it had to withstand, puncture resistance, and lots of thing regular boots never worry about. With the pressure outside is zero, the suits turn into the Michelin man stiff suits and so to the boots. They had to withstand 260 degree of heat and down to minus 280 in the shade.
