Hand Made Steel Toe Boots

[sl03560]

Anyone know where i can buy steel toe or composite toes? Ive been asked to make a Medieval stype boot that includes a safety toe of some sort. I found chinese companies that will sell me 10,000-100,000 units. Im looking for less. I want traditional steel toe or composite toe, not the toe caps that go over the tip of the boot.

Ok, I could go through the reasons I don't do steel toe caps other than they are hard to come by (or buy). You could do a carbon fiber or other strong material for the toe box. The problem is determining the degree of protection the customer expects which may be way more than you can provide without making a pair of diving boots.

For a one-off I think the easiest solution would be to buy an old pair at Goodwill and cut the toe cap out of them.

I guess a better titan would have been safety toe instead of steel toe. My client does heavy combat in the SCA so he does not need more than the standard safety toe covers, but does require it to look like a sime medieval leather boot.

I'm thinking of making a pair for myself first and using an old boots steel toe but if this works out and I have a demand, I want to make more.

I would just buy a cheap pair at walmart or check the thrift stores.
