All three of the components that are usually steel are not steel here — which is much of why an 8\" met-guard boot can stay this light, and why the toe box doesn't go cold in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInternal, and Why That Matters Day to Day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guard sits between the layers of the upper rather than strapped over the lacing.
