The York XXE black low safety shoe from Elten combines high safety standards with modern design and comfort. This unisex model is available in sizes 40 to 48 and features a combination of microfiber and mesh in the upper material, which ensures optimal breathability and durability. The steel toe cap and metal-free puncture resistance provide reliable protection, while the slip-resistant rubber sole WELLMAXX, equipped with a sole core made of Infinergy® by BASF, ensures outstanding cushioning properties. Additionally, the shoe is oil and chemical resistant, antistatic, and meets the standards EN ISO 20345 S1, SRC, and DIN EN 61340-5-1. The low shoe has a lace-up closure, a padded tongue, and a collar edge, which increases wearing comfort. The WELLMAXX series stands for innovative sole technology, which is integrated into this model. The insole is replaceable and meets the ESD PRO black specification, which also qualifies the shoe for orthopedic adjustments according to DGUV 112-191. Weighing 597 g in size 42, this safety shoe offers a perfect balance between protection and comfort.
Shoes have been tested in accordance with the specifications of DIN EN 61340. They generally have a volume resistance of 7.5 x 10^5 to 3.5 x 10^7 ohms.
Safety class S1P
Shoes with a protective toe cap made of aluminum, plastic or steel. They are slip-resistant, antistatic and have energy absorption capacity in the heel area. They also have a puncture-resistant steel midsole and a closed heel area. A fuel-resistant sole is also possible.
Steel toe cap
Steel toe caps are somewhat heavier than other materials, but are very stable and resistant. As a rule, they can withstand a force of at least 200 joules.
Slip resistance SRC
The shoe is slip-resistant both on ceramic tiles with NaLS (sodium sulphate solution) and on steel floors with glycerine.
Penetration protection/midsole metal-free
The penetration protection protects the foot from nails and other sharp objects. Metal-free penetration protection made of textile fabric is lighter and more flexible and covers the entire surface of the foot. However, very sharp objects can penetrate it.
DGUV 112-191
This regulation stipulates that orthopaedic insoles may only be used in safety footwear in conjunction with a valid type examination. This is to ensure that specified and tested properties (e.g. antistatic properties) are maintained.
BASF Infinergy®
Elastic like rubber, but resiliently light. The world's first expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU). Combines the properties of TPU with the advantages of foams. Infinergy® has a low density, is extremely elastic and abrasion-resistant and has very good resilience. Infinergy® also has a permanent load-bearing capacity in a wide temperature range (-20 to over +40°C).
