Protection and safety features
MACSOLE® & MACSOLE® planet
Innovative rubber outsole to prevent slipping on extremely hot or cold surfaces
In addition to extraordinary slip resistance and abrasion resistance, the flexible sole with innovative rubber compound is extremely resistant to cold, heat and chemicals.
MACSOLE® planet: Using up to 30% recycled rubber in the form of devulcanised powder and granulate saves resources and prevents waste without impacting performance.
The #Weave Technology reduces sole weight for lighter footwear. The special geometric structure between the tread blocks on the outsole reduces the weight by up to 20%.
uvex x-tended grip planet
Sustainable grip for reduced risk of slipping and less wear
The TPU outsole with up to 10% recycled PU granulate increases abrasion resistance and provides grip on smooth and wet surfaces.
work zone
Maximum durability for a long service life due to less wear
Durable and extremely abrasion-resistant materials protect the shoe from wear in the relevant area of application and ensure a long service life.
ankle pro
Shock-absorbing foam minimises impact in the ankle area
Absorbent foam protects the ankle area against external impacts.
Advanced Impact Protection for enhanced safety
D3O® offers advanced impact protection thanks to a range of patented, proprietary and reimagined materials. D3O® Ghost™ Met Guards provide an ergonomic solution guaranteeing safe metatarsal protection against impacts, without restricting freedom of movement and ensuring high levels of comfort. Non-sacrificial smart material stiffens to dissipate high impact energies and mitigate injury/damage.
Ergonomics and wearer comfort
i-PUREnrj & i-PUREnrj planet
Sustainable midsole for better endurance due to shock absorption and energy return
The innovative PU midsole material redefines cushioning and energy return, reducing fatigue. The i-PUREnrj planet midsole consists of up to 20% recycled PU from our in-house production processes.
bionom x
Ergonomic design for improved performance through comfort
The ergonomic design based on biomechanical principles optimises the interaction between shoes, floor and body to facilitate natural movement.
flex zone
Comfortable flexibility for unrestricted movement when kneeling
The integrated flex grooves in the midsole design increases forefoot flexibility and improves comfort, especially during tasks that require kneeling.
Climate and humidity management
clima zone
Optimised breathability for dry and sweat-free feet
Breathable materials, reduced layers and a practical design ensure air circulation for long-lasting comfort.
water stop
Increased water resistance keeps feet dry for longer when working in wet environments
The special tanning technique used for the leather upper protects against water penetration for four times longer than the safety footwear standard requires — without additional chemical treatments.
x-dry knit
Breathable functional material for dry and sweat-free feet
The breathable and water-repellent knitted upper minimises sweating and keeps the feet dry.
sympatex®
Waterproof membrane for permanently dry feet when working in wet environments – 100% waterproof
The membrane keeps feet dry even under extreme conditions. The material is 100% waterproof and windproof and also breathable. It absorbs the water vapour and removes it to the outside. The recyclable membrane is made of recycled materials, PFC- and PTFE-free and CO2-neutral.
Closing systems
lace lock
Stabilising fastening system for increased stability in the shoe
The locking lacing hook fixes the laces in place, preventing them from loosening and ensuring more stability in the shoe.
Just as easily as the laces are tightened, they can also be loosened again by opening the hook. The laces remain undamaged.
The uvex lacelock closure system is compatible with all uvex laces. Our range includes round and flat, long and short, black and colored laces, so there is something suitable for every shoe and user.
BOA® Fit System
Delivering fit solutions purpose-built for performance, the BOA® Fit System is featured in products across industries (in medical, sports and workwear) and consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, a super-strong lightweight lace and low friction lace guides.
The BOA® benefits.
Fit to perform.
Dial in your precise fit quickly and eff ortlessly. Even micro adjustments can be made quickly and easily on the fly, so you can always get the job done.
Confidence in all conditions.
The BOA® Fit System is extremely robust and has been tested under the toughest conditions. It will work as hard as you do so you can stay focused and confi dent in any environment - without ever having to remove your gloves.
Stay secure and focused.
BOA®‘s precision engineered laces stay contained in the dial cartridge, out our your way and out of machinery.
Innersoles
multiplefit system for every foot shape
Not every foot is the same. In addition to the length of the foot, its width also plays a crucial role, to ensure the shoe fits perfectly when choosing the right size. While particularly narrow feet often have too much space and, in the worst case, slide around in the shoe, wide feet need more volume at the same length.
This is where the uvex multi-width system comes into play. For each shoe size, there are different widths that define the internal volume of the shoe and ensure an optimized fit.
uvex comfortable climatic innersoles
uvex comfortable climatic insoles provide the foot with full-surface shock absorption and ensures comfort in high-strain zones.
Features of the comfortable climatic insole are:
- Ultra breathable and moisture-absorbing materials
- Shock absorption zones support natural foot movement
- Non-irritating, comfortable upper
uvex tune-up for support and comfort
uvex semi-orthopaedic supportive innersoles are designed to enhance wearing comfort and reduce fatigue. The innersoles are available in three tailored arch profiles – LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH.
SECOSOL® COMPLETE+ for support and stability
The semi-orthopaedic innersoles from SECOSOL® provide a precise and stabilising fit for the arch of the foot, helping to reduce strainrelated discomfort and promote better posture throughout the day. The innersoles are available in three tailored arch profiles – LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH.
