Steel Toe Work Boots
Steel toe work boots are considered by many to be a form of personal protection for the
feet.
The toe is traditionally made from steel, however these day the steel toe can be replaced
with a composite material known as (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) which as the name suggests is
indeed a plastic. Aluminium is also used to protect the toe piece of the boot.
Steel toe work boots or safety boots as they are also known, play an important part in
the construction industry and many other similar environments where Occupational Safety and
Health Legislation insists on the wearing of this kind of foot wear.
The enforcement to wear steel toe work boots in industrial environments is because; safety
of the work force is paramount. The boots are durable reinforced and give the wearer
as sense of protection. These hard wearing boots mostly come with a protected mid sole
plate, the purpose being to give extra protection from nails and other sharp objects at ground
level.
These hard wearing protected steel toe capped boots were invented in Germany towards the
end of the 2nd World War. These hard wearing work boots have come a long way since 1945.Today's
work boot in many circles is considered a fashion statement, so Dr. Martens and Grinders,will
