Protects your toes from being stubbed or crushed. However, if, say, a 40,000 lbs. steel coil falls onto your feet, those steel toes aren't going to protect you. They have their limitations.

What is the difference between steel toe and composite toe shoes?
The most notable difference is that composite toe shoes don't set off metal detectors and are generally lighter than steel toe shoes. A steel toe shoe has a piece of steel inside the tip (about 2 1/2 inches) to protect the toes from being crushed if a heavy object falls on the foot. A composite toe shoe has similar toe-protecting reinforcement that is made of a "composite" material like kevlar, carbon fiber, or plastic. Also, while composite shoes can be made as impact resistant (dropping things) they aren't as resistant to shear (chainsaws, grinders etc.) Most of the Composite toe caps are thicker than steel toe caps, only some very advanced composite toe caps are as thin as steel toe caps, but price is very high, so for most of the plastic toe cap safety shoes, the producing shoes lasts are different from the steel toe cap safety shoes lasts. Same standard Pplastic safety shoes price is higher than steel toe safety shoes price. For more info of safety shoes, please refer to our web: www.credsafetyshoes.com

What is the difference between steel toe and steel toe cap?
steel toe is metal all around the toes, steel toe cap is just in the front EDIT: 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) To the above answer - i've never heard of or seen a shoe that has metal all around the toes. In order to protect from penetration a safety midplate can be added. To protect from impact/compression above the toes a metatarsal guard can be added to the shoes.
