Ensuring your safety at the workplace is paramount, and the right safety-toe footwear is a critical part of that. All safety-toe footwear must conform to ASTM standards and undergo impact and compression testing, so you can rest assured that whichever type of toe-cap you choose, you will be protected.

Composite Toe

Lightweight: Crafted from materials like Kevlar, Carbon Fiber, or Plastic.
Temperature Resistant: Comfortable in both hot and cold climates.
Comfortable: Ideal for those who are on their feet for long periods.
Non-Metallic: Does not conduct electricity, providing added safety in certain environments.

Steel Toe

Durable: Made of steel, these shoes can withstand higher levels of impact.
Heavier: Tend to be heavier compared to Composite Toe shoes.

Alloy Toe

Lightweight and Strong: Not as tough as steel but still provides robust protection against impact and compression.
Comfortable: Lighter than Steel Toe, offering a balance between comfort and safety.
Versatile: A good middle ground between Steel Toe and Composite Toe shoes.
