The majority of safety toe shoes and boots on the market now are composed of materials other than steel. We offer composite safety toe, aluminum safety toe, and alloy safety toe options all of which are much more lightweight than steel. These alternate safety toe options still meet the ASTM safety testing standards for impact and compression. Most of our safety toe footwear contains composite toe protection which are not only lighter in weight, but they do not conduct electricity and they don't retain heat in the summer or cold in the winter.
