Carolina Men's 6 Inch ST External MetGuard Foreman

The Foreman wears its metatarsal guard on the outside — a visible external shield over the steel safety toe for the jobs where things fall from height. Copper Crazy Horse leather takes the scuffs, an EH rating covers electrical exposure, and the oil- and slip-resistant outsole with removable EVA footbed handles the floor-level realities.

What’s the advantage of the Foreman’s external met guard? The external guard shields the top of the foot from impact and compression before force ever reaches the boot itself.
