Industrial footwear

The metal-free Heckel SUXXEED is suited to the manufacturing, service and logistics sectors as well as workers operating in warmer or humid environments. The range consists of a boot and two shoes with water resistant hydrosuede leather upper and slip resistant double density PU sole; a trademark feature of Heckel’s rubber processing sole technology. One boot and shoe feature a metal-free penetration resistant midsole.

Additional features include a self-cleaning tread, reinforced sides and stable ankle support system. The Climate Airmesh lining keeps the foot dry due to the high absorption and quick-drying capabilities, providing impressive ventilation and allowing the foot to breathe.

A soft padded removable insole is said to offer a cost effective solution for wearers that require impressive grip, resistance to extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals and shock protection.

uvex employee, Louise Newland tested the Heckel SUXXEED on the tough terrain of Snowdonia during a 6h team walking expedition. In terms of technical performance, Louise required a boot that would provide high slip resistance, shock absorption and that was thoroughly waterproof. When asked for a short statement following the climb, she said: "Part of the climb included rock climbing up a cliff face and even with this endurance test the boots remained comfy, sturdy and slip resistant. The route back down was just as intense, with a lot of high impact exercise. We were on our feet for approximately 6h and at no point were the boots uncomfortable, heavy or irritable. In fact they proved to be amazingly comfy and got me through the challenge – with dry feet.”
