SOLES AND TREAD

PU Outsole

Sole made entirely in polyurethane, fuel and oil resistant, with energy-absorbing heels.

PU-Rubber Outsole

Bi-density sole with polyurethane midsole and rubber tread, resistant to oil, fuel and contact heat up to 300°C, with energy-absorbing heels.

Rubber Outsole

Sole made entirely in rubber resistant to oil, fuel and contact heat up to 300°C. The special structure provides excellent energy absorption at the heel.

HRO

Footwear with a heat resistant rubber sole resistant to contact heat up to 300°C.

SR Slip Resistant

Sole with SR anti-slip properties conforming to 20344:2021 standard, tested on ceramic with glycerol. Designed to reduce the risk of slipping to the minimum.

SRC Slip Resistant

Sole with SRC anti-slip properties conforming to 20344:2021 standard. Designed to reduce the risk of slipping to the minimum.

Honey Comb

The inside of the heel of the rubber sole has a honeycomb construction to make the shoe lighter, guaranteeing insulation from heat and cold.

PROTECTIVE TOE CAPS

Aluminium Toecup

The aluminium toe cap conforms to EN ISO 22568 standard, providing toe protection up to 200 Joules. This material is 40% lighter than steel and reduces the overall weight of the footwear, increasing comfort without compromising safety.

Composite Toecup

The toe cap in composite material is extremely light, weighing almost half that of a steel one. Despite its light weight, it offers impact resistance up to 200 Joules, conforming to EN ISO 22568 standard.

Steel Toecup

The steel toe cap is certified conforming to EN ISO 22568 standard, to withstand impact up to 200 Joules. Although heavier than toe caps in composite or aluminium, the steel toe cap is favoured for its strength.

ANTI-PERFORATION INSERTS

PS Anti-perforation

The footwear is protected against perforation, conforming to EN 22568 standard, with a textile insert, resistant to nails 3mm in diameter.

PL Anti-Perforation

The footwear is protected against perforation, conforming to EN 22568 standard, with a textile insert, resistant to nails 4.5mm in diameter.

Metal Anti-Perforation

The footwear is protected against perforation, conforming to EN 22568 standard, with a metal plate insert.

FOOT PROTECTION AND UPPER

PROTECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Chain Saw

Footwear resistant to chain saw cutting conforming to EN ISO 17249:2013 standard. The textile used brings the saw to an immediate halt due to the build-up of threads and fibres in the links of the chainsaw.

Cut Resistance

The footwear is resistant to cutting or lacerations caused by pointed or sharp objects. This resistance is obtained by the use of reinforced material, specific hides, aramid fibres or cut-resistant textiles.

Fire Resistant
