The present invention discloses a method for preparing a nanocomposite material for toe cap production. The nanocomposite material is made of graphene, carbon nanotubes, fiber composition, a silane coupling agent, acetic acid, acrylate rubber, a dispersant, polyethylene resin, nano-silicon carbide, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, talcum powder, modified boron nitride, a curing agent and other materials. The preparation method is convenient and simple and is suitable for large-scale production; the nanocomposite material has high toughness and strength and good water resistance, wear resistance and aging resistance; all materials have a good combination effect with the fiber composition, therefore the nanocomposite material has good mechanical properties and a light weight.

A toe-cap molding machine has a body, a clamping device and a shoe-tree mount. The body has a base panel, a connecting mount, a clamping cylinder and a shoe-tree cylinder. The clamping device is detachably connected to the body and has two quick-release groups and a mold group. The quick-release groups are securely mounted on the assembling panel, and each has a quick-release mount, a clamping mount and a first spring. The quick-release mount has a releasing hole, a holding pin and a mounting recess. The clamping mount is pressably connected to the quick-release mount and has an engaging block, an elongated hole and an engaging head. The mold group is connected to the quick-release groups and the assembling panel and has two guiding shaft, a limiting panel, two second springs and a clamping mold. The shoe-tree mount is detachably connected to the shoe-tree cylinder below the clamping device.

A shoe toe shaping clamping device has a mold base and multiple clamping units. The mold base has a mold body. Each clamping unit has a clamping base, a bottom clamping unit, a top clamping unit, a clamping space, and a depth adjusting unit. The bottom clamping unit is mounted on the clamping base, is adjacent to the mold body, and has a bottom clamping surface. The top clamping unit is mounted on the clamping base and has a top clamping surface. The clamping space is formed between the top clamping surface and the bottom clamping surface. The depth adjusting unit is mounted on the bottom clamping unit and shelters two sides of the clamping space. The shoe toe shaping clamping device is applied for clamping a vamp to form a shoe toe.

The invention relates to a method for producing a toe cap (10) and such a toe cap itself. The toe cap comprises at least one end wall (12) extending in an arch shape and a cover wall (14) extending therefrom that covers the toes on the upper side, wherein the cover wall and the end wall have a base wall thickness G and areas separated from sections of the walls, such as webs in the walls, have a thickness D with 0D<W, wherein the difference between the volume of the toe cap with areas filled to the base wall thickness W and the volume of the toe cap with the areas of lesser thickness is 5% to 35%, and/or the difference between the area of the toe cap with filled areas and the outer surface of the toe cap without the areas is 20% to 60%.
