Shoe reinforcement is a type of footwear construction that adds extra support and protection to the toe area. Toeplate (8 letters) is a thin metal plate that is attached to the sole of the shoe to provide extra reinforcement and protection to the toe area. Toecap (6 letters) is a hard material, such as leather or plastic, that is added to the toe area of the shoe to provide extra protection and support. Both toeplate and toecap are used to reinforce the toe area of shoes and help them last longer.
