Abstract
Safety footwear adapted to provide protection to the instep region and/or metatarsals of a wearer is provided, including an internal metatarsal guard disposed in an interior of an upper, a first external metatarsal guard joined with the exterior of the upper, and optionally a second external metatarsal guard joined with the exterior of the upper, and overlapping the first external metatarsal guard. Upon flexing of the instep region during a gait cycle of a wearer, the second external metatarsal guard can ride along the first external metatarsal guard in a lobster tail articulation. The footwear and its components provide impact and crushing force resistance, yet the footwear is flexible enough to provide enhanced mobility to a wearer.
