What is the difference between a metal and a composite tray of special shoes!?

Metal shoe toe - a classic method of protecting the feet among workers. When it comes to impact protection, steel socks are the winners. They have been around for many years and are used in many industries.

Composite type of toe – a new form of protective footwear. This type of protection is provided by non-metallic materials. The most common composite safety footwear uses carbon fiber, fiberglass, or plastic.

Both types of safety shoes have their pros and cons. Shoes with a metal toe are safe because they can withstand a lot of pressure, a little more than composite safety shoes.

Composite protective footwear is good because it is light and comfortable, although its production is more expensive. Unlike metal, the composite is not subject to corrosion and conducts heat much worse. It is much more comfortable to wear such shoes for a long time. 

There are several types of composite insoles:

• Reinforced with Kevlar threads to increase strength;
• With perforation - the strength of the product decreases slightly, but comfort increases significantly, as the inside of the shoe remains dry.

Steel protective footwear is more traditional. Some people argue that composite safety shoes are more practical because they are made of non-metallic materials. It is undesirable to use safety shoes with a steel toe in environments with aggressive temperatures, because it is very easy to freeze or burn your feet, which are protected by metal protection. In addition, the ability of the shoelaces to be magnetized can play a prank on people who work with high voltage or flammable materials - metal is a good conductor of electricity, including static electricity.
