FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: invention provides a design of the tip cap and the shoe having a built-in tip cap, which does not disturb the leg movement, such as leg movement during walking, but simultaneously protects the shoe tip against side collision with such an object as a trolley wheel. The tip cap which protects the shoe tip (toes) in its fitting into the shoe tip, comprises a housing in the form of a cap having a front end wall, the side walls on both sides, and an upper front wall forming a gently curved surface, at that the side wall elongation is provided on at least one side wall and formed as a rear end edge of the side wall, elongated backwards.

EFFECT: shoe having a tip cap built in it, enables to protect sufficiently the shoe tip when the impact is inflicted from the outer side (ie from the small toe side) of the shoe tip, and, in contrast, a shoe with a built-in standard tip cap does not provide such protection.
