Why cant nothing be charged by static electricity?
Not sure what you are asking. You have used two fine negative words in the question, so interpretation is difficult."Why can't anything be charged by static electricity?"Static means stationary. Once the static electricity is given the chance to flow, it is dissipated. If I charge myself with static electricity by rubbing my shoes on a synthetic carpet, then I have "trapped" the electricity - it is static or still. When I touch my friend on the ear or hand, the electricity flows to her with a zap and is lost to the ground.Electricity that is generated or from a battery flows continuously in a circuit it is not dissipated.
How does one produce static electricity?
When the air is dry static electricity is more enhanced and noticeable than when the air is humid. Things with the same charge repel each other. You can produce static electricity by rubbing a balloon in your hair. It will cause your hair to stand up and the balloon will be able to stick to a wall. Also if you have on rubber sole shoes and you drag them along a carpet the first person you touch will be shocked by static electricity.
What happen if you wear rubber-soled shoes and walk across a wool rug. What happen if you reach toward a charged balloon hanging on a string in static electricity?

Is a steel toe safer than a composite toe shoe?
Steel toed shoes and composite toed shoes are in general manufactured to the same safety specifications set forward in the national or international safety standards, so both types should be equally safe. Steel toed shoes tend to exceed the safety standards more than composite toed shoes, however this all depends on the quality of the material used by the toe cap manufacturer. Steel toed shoes may conduct electricity or heat so extra caution has to be taken there.
