toebox
Foot's forward housing
The toebox is the front part of a shoe that covers and protects the toes.
It determines how much room your toes have to move: These running shoes have a wide toebox.
A reinforced toebox in work boots provides protection from impact or compression.
The shape and stiffness of the toebox affects both comfort and the shoe's appearance.
