Steel-toe boot

A steel-toe boot is like a normal shoe or boot, but it has extra protection for your feet in the front part where your toes are. This special protection is made of a hard material called "steel" that can't be easily broken or squished.

Have you ever accidentally dropped something heavy on your toe and it hurt really bad? Well, steel-toe boots can prevent that from happening to your feet. They are often worn by people who work in places where heavy objects could fall on their feet, like construction sites or factories.

So, if you want to keep your feet protected and safe, you can wear steel-toe boots!
