Steel Or Composite Toe - Safety Jogger

Which toe cap material is the best choice for you?

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
Does not conduct heat & cold

Aluminium

+	-
30-50% lighter compared to steel	Conducts heat & cold
Anti-magnetic	Not metal free
Thicker & bulkier

Nanocarbon

+	-
Lightest material (50% lighter than steel)	More expensive
