A composite reinforced toecap for a shoe includes multiple composite fiber reinforcement
layers and a larger fiber layer laminated between and extending out from the composite
fiber reinforcement layers. The fiber layer is made of continuos-strands. The composite
fiber reinforcement layers are made of fiber-reinforced-plastic composite materials,
are laminated on the fiber layer to form a pre-product toecap. A bonding coating
is applied to the fiber layer that extends beyond the composite fiber reinforcement
layer to form a binding. The pre-product is cured and has a binding that can be
sewn to the sole, upper or tongue of a shoe.
