New Wellmaxx safety shoes

Comfort for Hard Floors

Hard floors are part of everyday working life and they are unforgiving. Walking on concrete or steel puts enormous strain on joints, knees and the back. Every step costs energy, every kilometre wears you down. Pain and bad moods are almost inevitable. However, it doesn’t have to be that way, because there are shock-absorbing safety shoes with Wellmaxx technology. And we have now reimagined them three times over.

Wellmaxx Newfeel – the new walking experience

As the name suggests, the Wellmaxx Newfeel series offers a completely new walking experience. For the first time, we have used BASF’s Infinergy^® cushioning material as a full midsole. This creates a cloud-like feeling across the entire foot. Anyone who spends their whole day walking on hard floors will appreciate this even cushioning and noticeable relief. Hard surfaces do not absorb shock. This leads to fatigue, blisters, pressure points, back pain and in the worst case, even chronic posture problems.

Why cushioning is so important

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), around 20 percent of all working days lost due to work-related ill health in 2024/2025 were due to musculoskeletal disorders. Back problems are a widespread condition. Demographic change and excess weight increase the strain even further. Meaning: if you don’t take care of your feet today, you’ll pay the price tomorrow.

Midsoles made of PU or TPU have proven themselves for many years. They offer reliable cushioning and make everyday work noticeably more comfortable. Modern cushioning technologies like Infinergy^® take things a step further: they don’t just cushion, they actively return energy. That means less effort, reduced fatigue and more of that feeling: ‘I’ve got this!’

Wellmaxx Skywalk – High-tech cushioning for professionals

Our new Wellmaxx Skywalk series offers a particularly exciting combination of two cushioning materials. For the first time, the high‑tech material Infinergy^® is used as an open element in the heel area of the midsole made from Supercritical Foam (SCF). The combination of Infinergy and SCF delivers dynamic cushioning exactly where the load is highest. In addition to that, the Skywalk models feature a distinctly sporty look.

Wellmaxx Street – stylish and safe

Our new Wellmaxx Street series looks just like a stylish casual trainer. Whether on a skateboard, with a paint roller or in logistics, Jamain and Rosario always look good and, more importantly, stay safe. And the best part: their sole also hides a cushioning Infinergy^® module. It has a strong effect even when it’s not visible from the outside, because hard floors mean constant stress for joints and muscles. The result: fatigue, pain and, in the long run, even posture damage. This is not just unpleasant but can also become quite expensive, both for you and your company. So get your Wellmaxx upgrade now. Your back will thank you. And so will your mood.
