The toe cap is a solid insert, the main function of which is to protect the foot from impact and squeezing. The sock is located in the bow section between the top and the lining.

There are 2 types of protective toe caps: metallic and non-metallic (composite). Let's consider the main differences:

The metal toe cap can withstand an impact force of up to 200 Joules, if the specified load is exceeded, the toecap is crushed and can injure the leg. The composite toe cap also can withstand a load of up to 200 J, but with a higher impact force, the toe cap does not crumple, but breaks up into small particles, which does not entail high risks of injury.

The metal toe cap is thinner, which gives more space inside the work shoe. The composite toe cap has a lot of volume.

The metal toe cap can be made of steel or aluminum, depending on specific conditions and applications. It is also worth noting that steel is susceptible to corrosion. The composite toe cap is made of polycarbonate, carbon fiber and fiberglass. These materials do not corrode.

Unlike metal toes, composite ones have low thermal conductivity and are not magnetized.
