A composite toe is a type of safety toe cap used in protective footwear, designed to shield the toes from impact and compression. Unlike traditional steel toe caps, composite toes are made from non-metal materials such as plastic, carbon fiber, or Kevlar. This makes them lighter and often more comfortable, while still meeting safety standards set by organizations like ASTM. Composite toe footwear is popular in various industries, including construction and manufacturing, where foot protection is essential. These shoes are also non-conductive, making them suitable for electrical work, as they reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
