closed toe

Shoe front sealed

Closed toe describes footwear that fully covers the front of the foot, as opposed to sandals or peep-toe styles that expose the toes.

Often appears in dress codes: The restaurant requires closed-toe shoes.

A closed-toe shoe offers more protection in workplaces and formal settings.
