What is the difference between steel toe boots and composite toe?

Question

Is there much difference? Which is better? Are they equally safe? Is it just personal preference? Can you reccomend a good comfortable steel composite toe boot?

Answer 1

steel toe boots are just that a piece of steel fitted over the toes, composite toe boots use other materials that are just as hard BUT they do not have the connectivity levels as steel. if you are working in a cold climate steel toes will freeze them toes right off, also electrical environments.
my advice get a good pair of composite ones, and you get what you pay for, its worth the investment. more than you could ever imagine. proper foot support. helps legs cramps, back pain etc...
