Toecaps · Steel · EN ISO 22568-1
Steel Toecaps
Steel toecaps deliver the best safety performance at the lowest component cost — the reason they remain the most widely specified protective toecap in the world. Isco manufactures steel toecaps across multiple series, each designed for specific shoe construction methods, lasts and sole-to-upper bonding techniques.
Produced at our Istanbul factory — our original and largest facility — every batch leaves with full EN ISO 20345 compliance documentation. Advanced stamping and forming technology delivers precise geometry and tight tolerances across high-volume production runs, batch after batch.
Toecaps · Aluminium · EN ISO 22568-1
Aluminium Toecaps
Isco introduced a revolutionary injection method for producing aluminium toecaps — a world first that delivers superior structural integrity, more consistent geometry and a smoother surface finish than conventional press-forming. The result is a toecap that is significantly lighter than steel while maintaining full protective performance to EN ISO 20345.
Aluminium toecaps are the preferred choice for applications where worker comfort during extended shifts is a priority: logistics, aviation, light industry and any sector where weight reduction is a key specification requirement.
Toecaps · Fibre Composite · EN ISO 22568-2
Fibre Composite Toecaps
Our fiberglass reinforced composite toecaps combine high impact resistance with genuinely low weight. Being completely non-metallic, they are thermally and electrically non-conductive — they will not become dangerously cold in freezing environments or heat up around high-temperature equipment. Ideal for construction, cold chain logistics and utilities sectors.
Manufactured at our purpose-built Diyarbakır facility, these toecaps give customers shorter supply lead times, elimination of intercontinental logistics risk and full REACH-compliant traceability from a single European source.
Toecaps · Composite · EN ISO 22568-2
Composite Toecaps
Our 100% metal-free composite toecaps are the specification-correct solution for environments where personnel must pass through metal detection equipment: airports and air cargo handling, secure facilities, food manufacturing, pharmaceutical production and electronic components assembly.
The composite material also provides excellent thermal insulation, making these toecaps effective in both cold storage facilities and high-heat industrial environments. They meet EN ISO 20345 requirements across a broad size range and are available in the standard catalogue or to custom specification.
Anti-Shatter · Metatarsal Protection
Anti-Shatter Cover
The anti-shatter cover is a metatarsal protection component positioned over the instep of the foot — providing critical impact protection on the upper surface against falling or rolling objects. This is the zone above the toecap that standard safety shoes leave unprotected; the anti-shatter cover bridges that gap.
Manufactured from high-quality resins and fiberglass reinforcement, our anti-shatter covers are lightweight and low-profile, integrating cleanly into existing safety shoe upper designs without adding significant bulk. They complement toecap protection for comprehensive foot coverage in construction, heavy manufacturing and industrial environments requiring the highest protection rating.
Midsoles · Stainless Steel · EN ISO 22568-3
Stainless Steel Midsoles
Stainless steel anti-perforation midsoles deliver the best and safest nail penetration protection available for safety footwear. Highly flexible despite being completely impenetrable to nails, screws and sharp debris, they provide reliable underfoot protection without restricting natural foot movement or requiring heavier shoe construction.
The inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensures consistent long-term performance in wet environments, chemical exposure and the demanding conditions of construction sites and industrial facilities. Available in multiple thickness options to suit all construction methods — cemented, stitched, or direct-injected.
Midsoles · Carbon Steel · EN ISO 22568-3
Carbon Steel Midsoles
Hardened carbon steel midsoles deliver extreme puncture resistance at a highly competitive price point — making them the standard choice for high-volume safety shoe production where cost efficiency is as important as protection performance.
Available in multiple hardness grades and thickness options, Isco carbon steel midsoles offer the flexibility to optimise the protection-to-flexibility ratio for each specific shoe construction and application requirement. Produced at our Istanbul factory with consistent tolerances and full certification documentation across every batch.
