A protective toe cap made according to European or ASTM standards will protect your toes from almost every impact and compression injury, regardless of the material. But what exactly is the difference between the materials and what could be the best choice for you? We’ll explain four different toe cap materials in the video below:
In summary:
Steel
| + | - |
| Very strong | Conducts heat & cold |
| Thin & therefore more subtle | Heaviest material |
| Budget friendly | Not metal free |
Composite
| + | - |
| 30% lighter compared to steel | Thicker & bulkier |
| Metal free | |

Aluminium

Nanocarbon
