safety boot

Reinforced work shoe

A safety boot is a work boot with protective features—typically a reinforced toe cap (steel or composite) to guard against heavy falling objects, and a puncture-resistant sole.

Required in construction, manufacturing, and industrial settings: Make sure you're wearing your safety boots on the factory floor.
