Aluminum Alloy External Metatarsal Guards

Removable / Portable External Met Guard

The foot guards are metal (Aluminum) shields worn over shoes for maximum protection to the entire top of the foot - instep as well as toes - against falling, rolling, or flying objects or accidental tool blows. They are designed to withstand an impact of 75 foot pounds, with a large safety factor designed in. Foot guards fit any shoe (no rights or lefts). The External Met Guard fits shoes or boots up to  5 1/2" wide. They are light enough to be worn comfortably all day. To keep the guard properly positioned, it has a rubber toe clip, crossbar, and either a one-piece rubber strap with a tension buckle. Foot guards are available in aluminum alloy or steel, with equal protection from either material. Per Federal Regulations, guards provide protection equal to AIMSI-Z41 standards.

While not specifically tested for power washing, these aluminum guards are regularly used in those applications.
