Metatarsal Boots

Metatarsal Boots

Improve foot protection by wearing comfortable safety footgear

Working in unsafe environments with hazardous elements requires optimum protection from head to toe. Putting on boots protected by metatarsal guards and safety toe caps ensures that the top of your feet gets maximum protection coverage against dropping or rolling objects in the workspace. Safety work boots with metatarsal guards have an extra barrier to prevent crushed feet or acute injuries.

But do you need them when your boots already have safety toe protection? If the danger is too great, then yes, you do. The metatarsal bones on your feet are fragile and have no fats, muscles, or tiers of skin around them to deflect impact or compression caused by falling construction tools, heavy equipment, and moving vehicles. Metatarsal guards are one of the most important pieces of personal protective equipment a worker should have to keep their feet safe at all times on a rugged job site.

Discount Safety Gear offers some of the best metatarsal boots and shoes from trusted brands in the workwear industry. Go through our range of met safety footwear and find the best fit and protective features you need.

What is the difference between the metatarsal and the safety toe?

The answer is simple. Metatarsal guards protect the feet's metatarsal bones, and toe caps keep the toes safe. Their objective is the same as both block the pressure generated from the impact of plummeting elements found in a construction site, industrial workplace, warehouse, or any space filled with dangerous materials or hazardous conditions.

Maximum protection is best with steel or composite toe-capped footwear

Internal met guards: How do you know if your boot is keeping your metatarsal area safe?

Some safety work footwear may not always reveal its protective aspect to the naked eye, but that doesn't mean it offers less. Internal met guards lie underneath the work footwear's tongue, so you won't be able to notice, looking at the outer shell, unless you feel them. Discount Safety Gear's Iron Age IA5014 Men's Groundbreaker 6" with Internal Met Guard EH Steel Toe Boots have proven remarkable for their excellent protection. These met guard safety boots showcase a microfiber upper for ultimate breathability and freedom of movement. The interior is made with a BootBed dual-layered memory foam removable footbed for all-day comfort and moisture-wicking nylon mesh lining for all-day fresh and dry feet. This footwear has Kevlar stitching and Vibram® heat-resistant rubber outsole to safeguard the foot against chemicals and oils, metal chips and shards, and hot surfaces.

External metatarsal boots

External metatarsal guards are more visible on top of the footwear's upper body and the shoelaces. Their overlapping design produces improved impact protection, particularly when dealing with slow compression accidents. Iron Age IA5015 Men's Groundbreaker 8" with External Met Guard EH Steel Toe Boots have a Goodyear welt construction and full leather insole for durability, with a BootBed dual-layered memory foam footbed and moisture-wicking nylon mesh lining for dry comfort. This safety boot's Kevlar stitching and heat-resistant rubber outsole provide great traction on any surface.
