Our men's 6" composite broad toe internal metguard, built with safety and durability in mind. The composite safety toe cap and internal metatarsal guard team up for superior protection, and our Pillow Cushion™ insole and removable AG7™ footbed help to keep hardworking feet comfortable. Key Features of the Carolina CA5582 Composite Safety Toe Cap — A non-metallic broad toe meeting ASTM F2413 for impact (I/75) and compression (C/75), with reduced cold transfer. Polyurethane Internal MetGuard — Meets ASTM F2413 Class Mt75. Built inside the boot, so it flexes with the foot rather than sitting on top of the laces. Copper Crazy Horse Leather Upper — Rugged, rich full-grain leather. Abrasion-Resisting Coated Leather Toe — Extra protection where boots scuff first. Mesh Lining — Breathable against the foot. Removable AG7™ Polyurethane Footbed & Pillow Cushion™ Insole — Enhanced arch support over a memory-foam layer. EVA Midsole — Lightweight cushioning underfoot. Non-Metallic Shank — Composite support with no steel in it. Electrical Hazard Rated — Tested to withstand up to 18,000 volts at 60Hz for one minute without leakage. Cement Construction & Slip-Resisting Rubber Outsole — A bonded sole that keeps the boot light and flexible. What a Metatarsal Guard Actually Protects A safety toe covers the toes and nothing else. The metatarsals — the long bones running from your toes back toward the ankle — sit exposed under thin leather on an ordinary boot. A dropped die, a rolled pipe, or a load slipping off a forklift lands there. An Mt75 guard is rated to absorb a 75-pound-force impact across that whole area. Internal Versus External An internal guard is built between the layers of the upper. It flexes as the boot flexes and adds nothing to the outside profile, which makes it far more comfortable to walk in than an external guard bonded over the lacing. Carolina builds external met guards on other styles for jobs where the guard takes direct, repeated hits and you want it replaceab
