What is the difference between a steel toe and a steel cap boots?
Both are the same. The right terminology is "Safety boots, safety shoes or safety footwear". It doesn't matter what the toe cap is made of, as long as it meets the specifications set forward by the government (in Europe EN-20345) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steel caps are worn on the outside of the shoe, and can be purchased separately. Steel toes are built into the shoe so that the steel isn't showing. For safety shoes both must meet or exceed standards in the U.S. under ANSI Z41.1-1967. see link below for a few examples of toe caps.
Where can you buy steel toe cap inserts?
You cannot get inserts for steel toe shoes. Look for steel toe safety guards. They attach outside your shoe, and are removable. That is your only option beside buying a real safety-toe shoe.
Can you buy separate steel toe caps to attach into boots?

How were steel toe boots made?
Steel toe boots are made in the same way as non steel toe boots. The difference is that during the lasting process a steel toe is added. After the lasting process the shoes are ready to have the outsole attached to it. If the boots come with a steel mid plate, then these are added after the lasting and before adding the outsole.
Can steel toe shoes rust?
