While they both have the same impact rating, composite is quickly overtaking steel toes as the gold standard in safety or protective toe footwear. There are benefits with composite toe that you simply won't get with a steel toe. If something heavy enough to exceed the impact rating falls on a steel toe, it can either bend an crush your toes, and in extreme cases could cut them off. With composite it will shatter, and give you toes a better chance of surviving. Additionally, composite toes do not conduct cold the same as steel. The main reason most people prefer composite though, is that they are significantly more light weight.   Full grain crazy horse leather upper Super lightweight carbon nanofiber composite safety toe cap Removable perspiration-absorbing dual density PU insole Abrasion resistant bumper toe for strength No exposed metal to meet scratch resistant workplace enviroment 100% Metal Free Flex-Welt construction Oil- and Slip-Resistant nitrile rubber outsole for durability Waterproof membrane construction No exposed metal to meet scratch resistant workplace requirements 90° heel for greater safety LENZI® puncture resistant plate for enhanced puncture protection and flexibility Meets or exceeds ASTM F2413-11 I/C, Puncture resistant and EH ratings MARK II slip resistant test results: SR WET / 0.71, SR OILY / 0.35, SR OILY WET / 0.32 Avenger 7591 Hammer 6" Internal Met Guard Composite Toe Work Boot - Brown
