2124188 9310682 PCTABS00022 A toe cap (10) for a protective shoe is injection molded utilizing a fiber-filled plastic resin having a high loading of relatively long fibers (F). The toe cap (10) is constructed to provide a controlled vertical collapse of the body (13) under a vertical load imposed on the roof (14) by providing a roof section (14) of relatively higher strength than the front (15) and side (16) walls of the toe cap (10). The front (15) and/or side walls (16) are provided with regions of substantially reducted cross section (24), as compared to the roof section (14), allowing the walls (15 and 16) to close vertically and collapse in a hinge-like manner, while the relatively stronger roof (14) substantially retains its original shape. A specially positioned and shaped gate (18) allows the fiber filled resin to be injected to form the toe cap (10) in a manner resulting in the lateral orientation of the fibers (F) across the roof (14) to substantially enhance the strength thereof.
