Metatarsal Protection

The metatarsal bones extend from the ankle to your toes. Falling objects are likely to collide with this area of your feet, which makes metatarsal bones vulnerable to injury.

Thus, metatarsal protectors are essential as they work in conjunction with safety toe caps to provide maximum protection for workers’ feet.

External metatarsal protection is often more popular than internal metatarsal protection. External metatarsal protection is often made of metal, tough plastic, or fibreglass wrapped in foam padding or leather. These protectors are attached to safety footwear covering the lace area.

Metatarsal protection is essential in industries including 

• Construction
• Mining
• Transport 
• Manufacturing and Warehousing
• Forestry

To protect your metatarsal bones we offer Impacto Metatarsal Protectors. These are polycarbonate lace-up protectors that deflect and disperse the impact of falling loads. 

Unlike traditional metatarsal protectors, the Impacto Metatarsal Protectors are non-conductive for heat and electricity. In addition, this product:

• Fits all safety boots and shoes with optional attachment straps
• Has been tested to conform with stringent Worldwide Safety Footwear Standards
• Conforms to ASTM F2413/F2412

Insoles

Insoles are supportive devices often made of foam, gel, rubber, or cotton. They are slipped into safety footwear to treat foot posture issues or painful conditions such as

• Flat arches
• Plantar fasciitis
• Bunions

Insoles prevent injuries and also provide comfort for your feet, which makes them essential components of quality protective footwear.

Here are other benefits of using insoles:

• Correction of posture issues
• Prevention of blisters and irritation
• Provides warmth

We recommend our Impacto Anti-Fatigue Memory Foam Insoles, which alleviate fatigue when standing on hard surfaces for a long time. It also relieves pain in the joints, feet, knees, legs and back. Other benefits of this product include

• Antifungal and antibacterial materials
• Superb heel and arch support
• A soft fabric cover wicks away moisture

Boot Washer Stations

Regardless of your industry, it is essential to remove the dirt from the sole of your protective footwear. Boot Washer Stations are of the utmost importance in controlled areas to prevent cross-contamination.

Tiger Supplies’ boot washer stations have the following benefits:

• Cost-effective
• Easy to use

To keep your working site clean and safe, we recommend the Invicta Boot Washer Station, which has an innovative design with a Plumbing Waste System to pump and remove internal wastewater.
