Description:
The foot guards are metal shields worn over shoes for maximum protection to the entire foot - instep as well as toes - against falling, rolling, or flying objects or accidental tool blows. Smaller, lighter, comfortable, and easily adjustable; they withstand impact of 50 foot pounds with a large safety factor designed in. Average width is 4-1/2". They are light enough to be worn comfortably all day. To keep the guard properly positioned, it has a rubber toe clip, crossbar, and either a one-piece rubber strap with a tension buckle, or a two-piece leather strap with a spring fastening device. Foot guards are available in aluminum alloy or steel, with equal protection from either material. Per Federal Regulations, guards provide protection equal to ANSI-Z41 standards.<br><br>
