Safety Solutions
Steel mills, foundries, and metal processing facilities expose workers to some of the most hazardous industrial conditions, including extreme temperatures, molten metal splashes, and airborne particulates. Without the right protection, burns, respiratory hazards, and crushing injuries are serious risks. We engineer safety solutions that withstand the rigors of metal processing, from heat-reflective materials to reinforced impact zones. Learn how our protective innovations help keep workers safe in extreme manufacturing environments.
Risk of Impacts or heavy falling objects
The risk of impacts or falling objects refers to the potential for direct impacts on the foot, including incidents involving falling objects, collisions with moving machinery, and handling heavy tools, equipment, or objects.

Our safety toe cap options provide robust protection against impact and compression hazards.
  • Composite Toe Cap: Lightweight and metal-free, offering certified protection against impact and compression while preventing electrical conductivity.
  • Steel Toe Cap: Traditional and highly durable, providing certified safety protection against impact and compression.
  • Aluminium Toe Cap: Lightweight with a slimmer profile than the traditional steel toe cap, it offers certified safety protection against impact and compression.
  • NANOTOE®: Lightweight and robust, it is made from carbon nanotubes offering certified protection against impact and compression.
  • PARESHOK™: Positioned over the protective toecap for added durability, increasing the vamp's wear resistance.

Risk of Cuts
The risk of cuts involves the potential for injury from sharp or pointed objects, such as when handling metal, glass, cutting tools, or machinery with sharp edges.

Our cut-resistant materials offer exceptional durability and protection against sharp objects while maintaining flexibility and breathability.
  • SHIELDTEX™: High-performance abrasion-resistant fabric originally developed for the car and motorcycle racing industry, offering superior cut resistance.
  • CORDURA®: High-performance textile known for its exceptional durability and resistance to cuts, abrasion, and wear.

Our reinforced materials provide exceptional cut resistance while offering additional durability and heat resistance.
  • KEVLAR™: This reinforced threading withstands extreme heat, resists burning, melting, and degradation under intense temperatures, while also offering superior cut resistance, flexibility, and durability.
  • K2™ KEVLAR™: This high-strength reinforced threading is 2.5x stronger than nylon or polyester, delivering advanced cut resistance while offering heat resistance up to 800°F (427°C).
Risk of Punctures
The risk of puncture refers to the potential for sharp objects to pierce the sole or upper of footwear, with possible injury from hazards such as nails, metal fragments, glass shards, and ground debris.

Our puncture-resistant soles provide a critical barrier against sharp objects, resisting penetration through the sole of the boot while maintaining comfort and flexibility.
  • Steel Plate: A rigid and highly durable solution offering maximum puncture protection against sharp objects. Ideal for environments with high exposure to nails, metal shards, and other piercing hazards.
  • Composite Plate: A lightweight, flexible, and metal-free alternative to steel, offering high puncture resistance while maintaining electrical insulation. Designed to reduce foot fatigue, it is ideal for work environments requiring non-metallic footwear.

Risk of Heat Exposure
The risk of heat exposure involves the danger of high-temperature conditions causing burns, thermal stress, or degradation of protective footwear, particularly in environments with radiant heat, molten materials, or open flames.

Heat-resistant materials protect against extreme temperatures, preventing burns and reducing thermal transfer.
  • KEVLAR™: This reinforced threading withstands extreme heat, resists burning, melting, and degradation under intense temperatures, while also offering superior cut resistance, flexibility, and durability.
  • K2™ KEVLAR™: This high-strength reinforced threading is 2.5x stronger than nylon or polyester, delivering advanced cut resistance while offering heat resistance up to 800°F (427°C).
