For at least the smaller toes, the "cap" will pretty much
envelope the entire toe, which will be uncomfortable (less
flexibility, neighbouring caps interfering with each other,
weight...). A well-designed full steel-cap is better. |

I would have quite liked an alternate future where
the toe-shoe took off and became the norm, if only as
a mainstream fashion fad for a few years, like the
mad medieval pointy-shoe craze of the 15th Century,
or curly-uppy Arabian shoes of (probably) a similar
time.
But alas, it looked too stupid. |

It is like steel toed safety shoes, only polydactyl,
a huge improvement. |
