Metatarsal guard
Metatarsal guards are a reinforced layer in the metatarsal portion of footwear that protect the metatarsal bones by deflecting falling objects and absorbing impact energy. Typically used in areas where there’s a higher risk of objects falling or rolling onto the worker’s foot, the CushGuard Metatarsal Guard is designed for protection and comfort. It can be concealed internally in the boot but works the same. Ultra-light and thin, CushGuard flexes and bends with ease so workers won’t notice it while walking.
