I remember seeing some boots advertised many years ago that may have had fiberglass toes caps - I just remember them being not steel. They were billed as having the protection of steel toes without the weight.

I haven't seen them in a long time. Don't know if the company went under, of if they really didn't hold up as well under test-to-failure.

One would think in this age of carbon-fiber ice cube trays, and mil-tech going commercial that we could have a pair of safety toed boots that didn't double as workout devices!
