Frequently Asked Questions

What is an internal metatarsal guard?
An internal metatarsal guard is a protective plate built inside the boot that covers the metatarsal bones (the top of the foot). It protects against heavy objects falling onto the foot from above — a critical feature in foundry and heavy industrial environments.
