uvex safety shoe technologies - always one step ahead

With our design & development center in Fürth, Germany, as well as our production site in Cagi, Ceva/Italy, we combine our know-how and resources to always offer you the best technology in safety footwear.

Our in-house expertise in the discipline of biomechanics has most recently enabled us to develop a design approach, the uvex bionom x principle, which optimizes the interaction between foot, shoe and ground for better protection and greater comfort. Most recently, we were able to launch safety footwear that, like athletic shoes, has rebound properties in the sole through our uvex i-PUREnrj material, reducing wearer fatigue.

General technologies

bionom x

Unique design approach of safety shoes based on biomechanics. The visible, shared properties optimise the interaction between the foot, the upper part of the shoe, the sole and the ground, ensuring exceptional performance and comfort for many applications.

Sole Technologies

i-PUREnrj

Midsole with shock absorption and energy-return features, made of foamed polyurethane. This helps the wearer keep fi t for longer and reduces premature fatigue and the risk of injury.

i-PUREnrj planet

uvex i-PUREnrj technology plus up to 20% recycled polyurethane residues from our in-house production processes. Using recycled material in this way saves resources and reduces waste while maintaining the same level of performance.

uvex x-tended grip

The TPU outsole offers maximum performance with increased abrasion resistance of the outsole profile: 66% less abrasion in the standard test than required, up to 33% less abrasion even under double load. Increased slip resistance on wet and slippery floors for even more stability and safety.

uvex x-tended grip planet

The TPU outsole with up to 10% recycled PU granulate provides abrasion resistance and slip resistance on smooth and wet floors.

MACSOLE®

Patented rubber compound especially for the uvex and Heckel brands. Featuring exceptional slip resistance, durability, abrasion resistance, grip, heat and cold resistance, chemical resistance and high elasticity, the rubber outsole is ideal for medium and heavy-duty applications.

MACSOLE® technology with added recycled rubber in the form of devulcanised powder and granulate forms the basis of MACSOLE® planet. Using recycled material in this way saves resources and reduces waste while maintaining the same level of performance.
