What protection does the San Jose aluminum toe provide?

How does the San Jose 1022106 fit?
It runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an EE width. Keen's toe box is roomier than most work boots, and the Shellback heel support holds the heel in place.
How do I care for the San Jose?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Conditioning keeps the leather supple without affecting the KEEN.DRY membrane.
