THE RIGHT FIT
The number one rule when selecting the right shoe: It must fit! This is even more important with shoes that are used daily and for many hours at a time – work shoes. If the foot protection gives cause for complaints because the fit is wrong then it may end up left on the shelf. If the shoe is worn despite this then painful or tired feet become a distraction during work, potentially also posing a risk to safety – for both the wearer and their colleagues. ELTEN has therefore set itself the target of providing all workers with safety footwear that fits them perfectly, regardless of age and gender.
FOOT MEASURING
OPTIMUM FIT FOR PROS
Safety risks at the workplace need to be avoided at all times – also for the feet. Comfortable safety shoes are an important part of PPE. But how can the perfect shoe make it onto the foot? The answer: by a technically high end measuring system and the thus gained recommendations for foot protection with optimal fit. And exactly in this area we have researched and developed intensively.
LADIES FIT
LADIES LIKE IT SLIMMER
Ladies’ feet are different: They are narrower and with a lower instep than men’s feet in the same shoe size. We have therefore developed a ladies’ last for the NOVA range, which takes this into account and offers the right solution for the requirements of the female foot anatomy, with its narrower shape and lower instep. And the L10-range for example also includes safety sneakers with a narrower female fit. Safetyshoes for women.
MULTIPLE WIDTHS
FOR THE SPECIAL CASES
With a number of safety shoes we offer you a comfortable multi-width system, which creates the individually required space for every foot: Through greater volume in the forefoot area. We have also adjusted the toe protection cap accordingly. It has “grown together” with the width and offers effective protection because it also covers the toe area well at the sides, whilst the requisite remaining height is still intact.
FOR THE FOOT OF AVERAGE WIDTH
- Protective toe cap of normal width
- Ball area of normal width
- Normal instep volume
XW – FOR THE WIDER FOOT
- Wide protective toe cap
- Wide ball area
- Increased instep volume
XXW – FOR THE XX-WIDE FOOT
- Wide protective toe cap
- Extrawide ball area
- Extremely increased instep volume
ERGO-ACTIVE
WE’VE GOT THE REAL DEAL
ELTEN has been working intensively with research experts for many years now. And that is bearing fruit. For example, the ERGO-ACTIVE 2.0 system with its various fits was developed within the framework of mutual research work with Tübingen University. Despite being the same shoe size, one in every three feet is somewhat stouter than average, whilst another may be considerably wider.

Despite being the same shoe size, one in every three feet is somewhat stouter than average, whilst another may be considerably wider. With such deviations from the “average width fitting”, the shoe size is the right length but the foot protection still does not fit correctly. It is too tight and does not fit with the varying width-dependent foot proportions either. If the shoe is worn regardless then the feet become painful. Or the wearer selects a shoe that is too long, which brings with it a risk of tripping. Our answer: the creation of a tailored multi-width system in cooperation with Tübingen University, through which we are able to offer every wearer “their own” shoe.
SAFEGUARD
BIGGEST AND BEST FOOT FORWARD – NO PROBLEM!
ELTEN SAFEGUARD offers space for individuals whose feet are not only very wide but also particularly voluminous. With a spacious ball dimension, a particularly wide toe cap and extra space in the instep, they offer sufficient space for all those who live with larger feet.
