Men’s Metal Foot Guards (Rubber and Steel Toe)

Whatever your industry, whatever the hazards to your workers’ knees, shins, insteps, feet, or toes, Ellwood Safety has the protection you need.

The foot guards are metal shields worn over shoes for maximum protection to the entire foot – instep as well as toes – against falling, rolling, or flying objects or accidental tool blows. They are designed to withstand an impact of 75 foot pounds, with a large safety factor designed in. Foot guards fit any shoe (no rights or lefts), with 5″ (average) and 5 1/2″ (large) widths. They are light enough to be worn comfortably all day. To keep the guard properly positioned, it has a rubber toe clip, crossbar, and either a one-piece rubber strap with a tension buckle, or a two-piece leather strap with a spring fastening device. Foot guards are available in aluminum alloy or steel, with equal protection from either material. Per Federal Regulations, guards provide protection equal to ANSI-Z41-1999 and ASTM-F2413-05 standards for compression, impact, and metatarsal protection.

Ellwood Safety will modify guards to customer specifications or produce special guards for specific customer needs. Custom guards are of course more labor intensive to produce and are more expensive than standard products.
