Safety Footwear for Every Challenge
Experience the ultimate combination of comfort, protection and sustainability
Wellmaxx Technology
ELTEN's WELLMAXX technology is a revolutionary cushioning technology that offers exceptional comfort and reduces fatigue. The centrepiece of this technology is the high-tech material Infinergy® from BASF. The material made of foam particles is permanently elastic and always springs back into its original shape. As a result, energy is absorbed and distributed when walking, so that legs tire less quickly and muscles and joints are protected. This innovative technology sets new standards in terms of comfort and increases the acceptance of wearing safety shoes among employees.
BioMex Protection®
ELTEN's BIOMEX PROTECTION technology was developed to prevent slips, trips and falls, the main causes of accidents at work. Safety shoes with this technology have a special ankle cuff that stabilises the ankle in critical situations without restricting the natural movement. This protection against twisting reduces the risk of accidents at work and the associated costly downtime for employees. This makes working on construction sites and similar locations even safer.
Sustainability
ELTEN is increasingly focusing on sustainability and minimising the company's environmental impact. ELTEN was awarded the platinum medal for its' sustainability programme by the independent rating agency EcoVadis. The ELTEN range of footwear with increased recycled content is a prime example of this commitment to greater sustainability. These products are made with a higher percentage of recycled materials, while maintaining a high level of comfort, quality and safety.
The ENNO XXT improves the ecological footprint through an increased use of recycled materials within the fabric lining, upper material, stitching and more. Stylish and robust, it offers a wide range of safety features, including toe cap, breathable lining, excellent slip resistance and ESD capability.
The LUAN's increased recycled content combines outstanding foot protection with greater environmental awareness. Its stylish design makes it an eye-catcher, but its inner values are also impressive featuring a steel toe cap, WELLMAXX sole and breathable textile lining.
Diversity and Inclusion
ELTEN promotes diversity and inclusion and wants to enable employees to work safely and without discomfort. This is why the company has a wide range of safety shoes in its programme that are perfectly tailored to the individual needs of employees of all sizes and foot widths. Regardless of gender, foot size or foot shape, ELTEN offers maximum comfort and protection in the workplace.
