Lehigh Steel Toe Metatarsal Guard Work Boots
Lehigh Safety Shoes: 6" TS-100 Steel Toe Metatarsal Work Boot
5243
Lehigh Safety Shoe Co. has been providing protective toe safety shoes since the early 1920's initially under the name of Lehigh Rubber and Leather Company.
There have been many upgrades in technology over time allowing for better Lehigh products. One of the most significant new introductions by Lehigh through the years has been the introduction of the TS-100 steel toe cap in the 1970's.
The Lehigh TS-100 toe cap was made with a higher and wider design than traditional steel toe caps. This higher and wider design helped create steel toe footwear that exceeded the highest Protective Toe Footwear standards for Impact & Compression resistance by significant amounts. This has helped provide additional wearer safety from falling or rolling objects. Work boots with this steel toe cap have also been utilized by many people through the years who have wanted &/or physically needed more toe room than conventional steel toe caps provide.
While the TS-100 steel toe cap has continued to be a feature incorporated in various Lehigh safety shoes through the years, the footwear products utilizing them have been able to be improved because of other advances in technology and materials.
One style in particular utilizing the TS-100 steel toe cap that Lehigh has added to its safety shoe line has been the Lehigh 6" external metatarsal work boot stock # 5243. In addition to the TS-100 steel toe cap, Lehigh stock # 5243 also has a exceptionally soft tumbled upper leather. The tumbling process performed by the leather tannery helps break-up and soften the leather lessening the break-in for the wearer.
In addition to meeting the highest ASTM F2413 Impact & Compression standards, Lehigh stock # 5243 also has an ASTM F2413 compliant external metatarsal guard to help provide extra protection to the instep area along with the toes.
Lehigh stock # 5243 also complies with its Electrical Hazard standards. This type of footwear is made with insulating bottoms providing secondary electrical hazard protection to those areas dealing with open circuits under dry conditions, but also can be worn in work areas requiring only basic protective toe footwear.
If you are interested in a 8" style with these same features, please check out Lehigh Safety Shoe stock # 5244.

Protective Toe
Impact testing determines the amount of protection to the toe under various foot pounds of force. Compression testing determines the amount of static pressure a steel/composite toe cap can withstand. Our boots are I75/C75
Electrical Hazard
Footwear is built with nail-free construction to help insulate you from the ground to slow down conduction, but is not intended to be primary protection against electric shock. Leather footwear must be dry. Our electrical hazard boots meet and exceed ASTM electrical hazard standards.
Metatarsal Guard
Footwear offering metatarsal protection is designed to prevent or reduce injuries when the toe and metatarsal areas of the foot are exposed to "drop" hazards. Metatarsal protection safety shoes may be constructed with either internal or external metatarsal guards.
TS-100™ Toe Guard
Built with a higher and wider design to provide more toe room than traditional steel toe caps, the TS-100 exceeds the maximum standards for impact and compression protecting the toe area from static pressure of up to 5000 lbs. (twice the ASTM F2413 standard). -
