scuff cap
A search for "pronose tåslitskydd" gives 973 G-hits. The only conclusion that can be drawn from that is that "pronose" is a specific type of tåslitskydd. My searches show that it is a cap made of PVC or rubber that reinforces the top of the toe end of the shoe. A "toe guard" as has been suggested by someone else is made of metal (steel toe) and is below the cap in the shoe.

Use "toe scuff guard" the first time and "scuff guard" thereafter.
