Safety shoes must protect their wearers against different types of risk. Below are some of the tips on what makes a safety shoe.

Locking System

Like running sneakers, some safety shoes are equipped with a quick lacing system. This allows the shoe to be put on easily and quickly. The shoe stays in place all day long, without the need to tighten it. The quick lacing system also has the advantage of offering greater flexibility: for example, if the foot tends to swell over the day, the lxqacing system loosens. Some models of the range and the RUN-R range of the Heckel brand have this type of closure. We also find in safety shoes the classic shoe closure systems: laces, Velcro, or zipper, for example.

First Assembly Sole  

The insole is the link between the upper and the sole of the safety shoes (รองเท้า เซฟตี้ which is the term in Thai). Its primary function is to ensure contact resistance. It also has a role in the breathability of the shoe.

Outsole

There are two main types of material used to design the soles of safety shoes: polyurethane (PU) and rubber. These materials are distinguished by their properties. The PU soles are lighter and offer excellent shock absorption.

The rubber soles provide very high durability and better resistance to contact heat. Only safety shoes with a rubber sole can be HRO certified under the EN 20345 standard and offer resistance to a temperature of 300 ° C. Rubber is also inert to hydrolysis.

Within the uvex group, the Heckel brand is known for its Macsole rubber technology. Made from exclusive blends of nitrile rubber, Macsole® rubber soles offer unmatched performance in terms of durability, grip, and resistance to contact heat. Learn more about Macsole rubber technology.

Profile For Ladders And Stairs

The central part of the safety shoe like the sport safety shoes (รองเท้า safety ทรง สปอร์ต which is the term in Thai) is designed to give wearers more stability when climbing a ladder or stairs.
