Safety footwear for the construction industry with WELLMAXX cushioning
SUPER SOFT MEETS SUPER TOUGH
Standing for hours, kneeling or running-intensive activities are part of everyday work on the construction site. The physically hard work does not only lead to a permanent strain on the feet, but also to a strong strain on the entire musculoskeletal system. Especially in the autumn and winter months it is important to have the right outsole. Anyone who walks for many hours on hard or frequently changing surfaces needs comfortable and suitable safety shoes. With our new XXSG models you are perfectly equipped for wind and weather – and thanks to our WELLMAXX cushioning you get extra energy for long working days. In our blog post, we’ll introduce you to our rugged cushioning wonders in a little more detail.
SAFETY FOOTWEAR FOR A SECURE GRIP
Muddy clay floors, slippery ladder rungs and uneven surfaces of rubble, gravel and boulders are some of the biggest challenges in construction, especially in the autumn and winter months. Are you regularly out and about on construction sites during the cold and wet days? Then you should look out for safety boots with a coarse stud profile. Anyone who climbs on ladders, scaffolding or in construction machinery is dependent on a stable sole. Whether in structural or civil engineering, in drywall construction or interior finishing: uneven surfaces and unstable weather conditions frequently lead to occupational accidents caused by slipping, tripping, and falling (STF-accidents).
WELLMAXX SAFETY-GRIP SERIES
Our XXSG safety footwear series prevent these slips with an increased grip of the sole. The coarse outsole WELLMAXX SAFETY-GRIP is used for a firm footing and more grip. The SAFETY-GRIP outsole technology with bevelled tread ribs prevents slipping on wet surfaces. The special arrangement of the ribs also enhances the anti-slip properties of the sole. This provides excellent slip resistance that not only fulfills the basic requirement of slip resistance, but also the additional requirement SR. The negative profile at the ends of the sole also prevents accidents caused by tripping and twisting.
PROTECTION AND COMFORT COMBINED
There are often nails, broken pieces, stones or other pointed, sharp objects lying around the construction site. That is why our XXSG models such as the FRANCESCO XXSG BLACK MID ESD S3 or the LEONARDO XXSG BLACK-BLUE LOW ESD S3 are equipped with metal-free midsole (penetration protection) and toe cap. The ergonomically shaped toe caps effectively protect against impact and pressure and, together with the metal-free midsole, wards off dangers from above, below and in front.
Safety footwear for construction with WELLMAXX cushioning
Especially those who walk many kilometres a day or stand a lot expose their body to high stress. That’s why our XXSG models also place special emphasis on cushioning. Safety shoes who have a sole core made of Infinergy® from BASF cushion the impact of the foot when walking, but also cushions it back again. This means that the feet tire much more slowly and tendons and joints are also protected. The S-line, which runs through the entire sole profile, also supports the natural rolling of the foot and thus contributes to a comfortable gait – for pleasant wearing comfort and a natural flow of movement.
ROBUST, COMFORTABLE, SAFE: XXSG Safety footwear
Our new safety footwear for construction with WELLMAXX cushioning score not only with excellent cushioning properties. They’re also made of sturdy materials like cowhide, so they’re easy to clean off dirt and don’t wear out too quickly. In the forefoot area, the top sole is reinforced with a PU scuff cap to protect the toe of the safety footwear from premature wear. To minimize the penetration of dirt and grime, the models have a closed and padded flap. A breathable textile lining ensures that the shoe still feels pleasantly airy after several hours of wear – for a perfect feel-good climate inside the shoe!
