reinforced toe

Hardened shoe front

Reinforced toe describes the strengthened tip section of socks or hosiery, where extra material or tighter weaving prevents holes from forming in a high-wear area.

The reinforcement typically extends across the toe box where friction from shoes is greatest: These dress socks have a reinforced toe and heel.

Most quality socks feature reinforced toes as standard construction.
