The most important part of safety shoes is the toe cap, which is the core of safety shoes against smashing/impact. The toe caps of safety shoes includes two categories: metal toe caps and non-metal toe caps, but many people do not know how to choose, and do not understand which toe cap is better.
Metal toe caps include steel toe caps and aluminum toe caps. Steel toe cap is easily corroded by air because the material is made of pig iron. Moreover, the steel toe cap is located inside of the shoe, and safety shoes are generally more stuffy and more susceptible to the influence of the wet environment, which causes the steel toe cap to rust. This problem seriously affects the use of safety shoes.
In order to improve this problem, the material of the steel toe cap was changed to aluminum, which ended the problem of iron rusting, and more importantly, the aluminum toe cap is light in weight and more comfortable to wear.
The aluminum toe cap is easy to process, has strong bearing capacity and heat dissipation capacity, and is especially suitable for firefighters, and has a certain protective effect on fire damage. They do have their advantages in specific applications, including use in magnetically sensitive electronics plants and the petrochemical industry.
XKY is the first and unique manufacturer in China to introduce a revolutionary new method of making aluminium toe caps, giving a stronger and lighter product. It's a world-class technology, enabling safety shoes lighter, more comfortable for daily wear, meanwhile cost saving.
The composite toe cap can be understood as a non-metallic material, which has the advantages of fiberglass high strength, suitable for various foot types, and corrosion resistance. Safety shoes with synthetic and plastic toe caps are also commonly used at airports because their non-metallic nature minimizes interference with metals when passing through security areas. Therefore, buyers should choose according to their own working environment needs.
