<p>The toe guard is non-metallic, reducing thereby risks associated with electrical shocks and the detonation of land mines. The toe guard is formed of a composite material, preferably a vitreous fiber reinforced linear polyamide, characterized by being light weight, non-corrosive and having a low thermal conductivity. Preferably, the toe guard (20) is formed with a bevel (32) on its inside top edge for comfort. Preferably, the toe guard is formed with a long top portion (22) to provide protection extending beyond the toes. The toe guard either is formed with no flange, with a flange (76) of various widths or with a full bottom portion (104). In either case, the improved toe guard allows for the use of more comfortable footwear while maintaining an even improving its built-in protective safety feature. The footwear incorporating the improved toe guard can be of any design and construction, including welted, cemented or injection molded.</p> |
