The toe shoe fad was a shortlived one, with each toe isolated
in a small sleeve just waiting to be stubbed. Sure you can
wiggle your toes in the grass with toe shoes but is it really
worth it only to bang your pinky toe right into a rock? Thus I
bring you Steel Toe Shoes. Every toe is protected
by a small
piece of armour to ward off any floor-height hazards. Now
you can finally romp barefoot without any of the risks!

Did they even have steel in 1500 B.C.?

Yes, they did. Although possibly not in Egypt.

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. |

And I love the clacking sound when I walk across a
hardwood floor. |

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. |

How are your feet structured [a1]? |

Are these not just "safety shoes", which are quite
common? |
|
| |
It is like steel toed safety shoes, only polydactyl,
a huge improvement. |

The ancient Egyptians beat you to it. Give me a minute. |

Poor you. Maybe they have atrophied from decades of being encased in a mono-toed shoe. |
