Men's Metatarsal Boots

Shop men’s metatarsal boots at BJ’s Workwear

Metatarsal boots are different from penetration-resistant boots in that they shield the top of your foot instead of the bottom. The word metatarsal refers to the long bones atop the foot between the ankle and the toes. It only makes sense, then, that metatarsal boots protect the bones on the top of your foot from falling objects, rather than stopping sharp stuff from coming through the sole.

Men’s metatarsal boots protect the entire top of the foot, unlike standard safety boots that only protect the toes. They are available with either external or internal met guards. External met guards feature visible flaps and are often better for extreme, heavy-duty and slow-crush risks. Internal guards are built in under the laces and leather for a more comfortable and less restrictive fit.

Met boots have enhanced protection for high-risk work environments such as manufacturing and heavy construction, where tools or materials may fall onto the top of the foot. They usually have steel or composite toe caps, metatarsal padding for added comfort, waterproofing or water resistance, and puncture-resistant soles.

Our men’s met boots have you covered from your toes all the way up to your ankle and BJ’s has you covered for everything else. Shop the range of metatarsal boots at BJ’s Workwear today and grab a pair of met guards that offer full foot protection.
