Steel Mid-Sole Protection

The sole of the footwear is equipped with a thin steel plate, which prevents nails and sharp objects from penetrating the shoe and foot. Steel mid-sole protection has been tested in accordance with norm: EN ISO 12568.

Textile Nail Protection

Nail protection made of special fibers. The nail protection is certified under EN ISO 12 568, and complies with the demands for S3-footwear. The advantage is that the footwear is more flexible and gives better protection in warm and cold conditions, which gives a high comfort degree for the wearer.

Ladder Grip

A sole edge under the sole prevents slippage on the ladder.

Stabilizing Shank – ST

The oblong shank is made of a stift nylon material. The shank stabilizes the central part of the foot and ensures that the foot bends at the right place.

Stabilizing Shank - MF

Stabilizing Shank – MF

The specially developed multifunctional shank is made of a stiff nylon material. The shank stabilises the middle part of the foot and makes the footwear bend in the right position. This shank includes a small cushioning pad, which is shock absorbing. The position of the shank ensures that the heel is in constant contact with this cushioning area, which provides a good foothold and back relief.

ESD Approved

Footwear with an ESD label avoid electrostatic charging and are able to conduct away controlled static electricity from the body. This will avoid damages to, for example, sensitive electronic components.
