INNOVATIVE UPPER MATERIAL: FOOT
Heavy, waterlogged safety shoes are a thing of the past. ELTEN safety shoes featuring GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD combine the robustness of leather-like materials with the lightness and breathability of modern high-performance textiles. The result is permanently dry feet, minimal water absorption and outstanding wearing comfort from the very first step.

HIGH-TECH FOR YOUR FEET: GORE-TEX® EXTRAGUARD TECHNOLOGY
With EXTRAGUARD, GORE-TEX® has redefined upper materials for safety footwear. At the heart of this technology is an innovative three-layer construction:
- An outer, highly abrasion-resistant protective layer
- A functional protection and insulation layer
- An inner structural layer with minimal water absorption
Thanks to the integrated GORE-TEX® technology, the shoes remain permanently waterproof and breathable.
DESIGNED DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL: FEATURES AT A GLANCE
PERMANENTLY LOW WATER ABSORPTION
No more spongy, waterlogged shoes: the three-layer EXTRAGUARD construction absorbs virtually no water from the outside, even during prolonged use in wet environments.
REMAINS LIGHTWEIGHT IN WET CONDITIONS
Even when dry, EXTRAGUARD upper material is around 40% lighter than conventional leather. As it absorbs very little moisture, the shoe remains exceptionally lightweight even in continuous rain or muddy conditions.
EXCELLENT CUSHIONING THANKS TO THE INFINERGY® CORE
The Infinergy® sole core from BASF provides outstanding cushioning with every step and returns a large proportion of the energy used while walking to the wearer. This helps to reduce strain on joints and muscles.
PU TOE CAP FOR ADDED TOE PROTECTION
The robust PU toe cap effectively protects the upper material in the toe area against abrasion, scratches and mechanical damage.
REDUCED HEAT LOSS IN WET CONDITIONS
As moisture cannot penetrate deeply into the EXTRAGUARD material, the insulation properties remain intact and feet stay comfortably warm.
DEEP-TREAD, HIGHLY SLIP-RESISTANT OUTSOLE
Whether on muddy ground, gravel or smooth surfaces, the deep-tread outsole delivers outstanding grip and ensures secure footing.
WATERPROOF & BREATHABLE
The integrated GORE-TEX® technology reliably keeps water out while allowing heat and moisture to escape from inside the shoe.
VERY ROBUST
The EXTRAGUARD upper material is extremely robust and retains its performance characteristics even after prolonged intensive use.
EASY TO CLEAN
At the end of the working day, mud and dirt can simply be rinsed off under running water or with a garden hose. As the material absorbs very little moisture, the shoe dries quickly.
READY FOR ANY CHALLENGE: APPLICATION AREAS
ELTEN models with EXTRAGUARD have been developed for outdoor use where wet conditions, dirt and uneven terrain are part of everyday work.
RELIABLE PROTECTION FOR GARDENING AND LANDSCAPING
Shoes with EXTRAGUARD combine the robustness of classic leather boots with the wearing comfort of lightweight functional footwear. They are ideal for gardening and landscaping, as the material is around 40% lighter than leather and does not absorb water, even in wet grass or muddy conditions. The deep-tread outsole also ensures secure footing.
BUILT FOR THE TOUGHEST JOBS
On construction sites, safety footwear is exposed to extreme strain every single day. ELTEN models featuring EXTRAGUARD combine an exceptionally robust upper material with excellent slip resistance and durable protective properties. As the material absorbs very little water, the shoes remain pleasantly lightweight even in rain and wet conditions.
