Published October 12, 2023

If you work in an area where there is danger of foot injury, your employer will require you to wear personal protective equipment. This includes footwear such as safety toe boots. These boots protect your feet from falling or rolling objects, anything that can pierce the sole of your foot and electrical hazards. This type of boot is designed with an internal toe box that resists impact or compression.

The toe box in most safety boots is either steel or composite. Some alloy metals such as aluminum or titanium are used as well. This guide compares composite toe boots with steel toe boots so you can decide which offers the protection you need.
