So? as i said thats not an official reprimand from the Japanese source of the game claiming that the West are wrong in using the word "iron" for the boots. Thats just the Japanese guy giving his own claim to the boots. Hes not actually saying anyone or anything is wrong.
As I said above, they are heavy boots....100-200 pounds is damn heavy for a pair of boots.

Weight of Dangoro + iron armor < Heavy Boots. That is what we have been trying to tell you.
Also how do we know Dangoro is using iron armour?

But the official name, used by the creator of the game himself, never used the word iron. The localization team added that, just like they gave Ganondorf a last name when he didn't have one. He never said they were wrong, nor did he have to. He just used the official name, which does not include iron.
What I'm doing is using logic. The evidence given shows the boots being heavier than normal iron would allow. For example, Moo mathed the boots at around 100-200 pounds if they were solid, but the area of the Temple of Time gives evidence that the boots were significantly over 5 times Link's weight, which would require them to add over 600 pounds. Since evidence shows that the boots are heavier than an amount of iron at their size would be, and the creator of the game and true name do not use the word iron, I am forced to conclude that the boots are either much denser than normal iron, or simply are not iron. I am leaning towards not iron because of Word of God and the true name not being iron.

That is the way they should be, based on the math. But the evidence shows that they are significantly heavier, leading me to conclude that they are heavier than normal iron.

Gorons have always been ironworkers and blacksmith. They're basically the Dwarves of Legend of Zelda. On multiple occasions they've been shown to make weapons and trade them.
Show me where it says the official name is "heavy boots" and that Bo never mensions "iron" either please. Then you may have some ground.
No your not using logic, rarely do on the LoZ side, how can you when your ignoring the fact the game says iron yet want to assume otherwise based on someone outside of the game making some fairly ridiculous calculations? or when Gorons bounce across the lava like cartoons. Then your conclusions are poor, the creator of the game does not have to use the word iron for them to be iron so your just reaching and theres no real evidence truly portraying the boots as heavy.
Based on what math? math from the game itself made by the developers or math decided by KMC fans? seriously....
But do we know they use iron because by the sounds of it they mine for all kinds of metals.

Hey man. Do you realize that if you somehow won this argument, the only thing you'd accomplish is making Link an unaided Megatonner?

That makes a lot of sense because it wouldn't make sense if a Goron couldn't push away somebody just because they have boots made of iron and there is no way that would've tipped a platform with giant Goron on the end.
It would have to be magical boots made of mysterious metal that makes itself extremely heavy and with magnetic properties.

Oh I dont know, the only canon statements, claims and the only factual weight on my side is a pretty strong argument compared to a few blind fans getting upset over having their fanon collapsed.

It does not supercede anything dear boy unless the developer officially states the Iron boots as a wrong translation. Him just naming them something else in what looks like an answer to a small part of the game does not account for anything.
