What is a composite toe?

A composite toe is a type of safety toe cap found in work boots and shoes. It is made from non-metal materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, or plastic, making it lightweight and non-conductive. Composite toes provide protection against impact and compression hazards and are often used in workplaces where metal detectors are present, as they do not set off alarms. They are also more comfortable to wear for long periods compared to steel-toed boots, as they do not transfer heat and cold like metal does. Composite toes are a popular choice for workers in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and warehouse logistics.
