Work footwear is a specialized line of safety footwear that is characterized by certain protective elements and properties. The main task is to protect the legs from mechanical stress and damage, to minimize the likelihood of injury.

Depending on the field of activity, work shoes are equipped with the following protective elements:

Metal insert in the sole - provides protection for the feet from cuts and punctures.

Insole made of waterproof textile material - has anti-magnetic properties, provides cold / thermal insulation.

Reflective inserts - enhance visibility in poorly lit areas.

Rubberized toe cap - Provides additional protection against work-related injuries.

Toe - protects the foot from impact. Depending on the areas of application, there are two types of protective toe caps - metal and composite. The main differences are:

Of course, this is material. The metal toe cap is made of steel or aluminum, depending on the specific conditions and scope of application. A composite toe cap is usually made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and plastic. Reinforced Kevlar threads can also be added to increase the strength of the product.
Both toe caps can withstand an impact force of up to 200 J, but when hitting more than the specified force, the metal toecap is crushed and can injure the leg. The composite toe cap breaks up into small fragments, thereby not entailing high risks of injury.
The metal toe is thin and takes up little space inside, the composite toe has a large wall thickness.
Price. The composite toe is more expensive, the metal one can be attributed to the budget option.
