Safety footwear range
19 February 2018
The new Suxxeed Offroad range from shoe specialist HECKEL, part of the uvex safety group, includes a versatile, lightweight anti-magnetic boot and shoe.

Aimed specifically at professionals in building, construction, general industry, energy, logistics, maintenance, utilities and work in damp environments, the Suxxeed Offroad range features a double density, non-slip PU sole. It is said to feature perfect shock absorption and resistance to oils, hydrocarbons, and chemical products.
The grooves at the rear of the sole ensure good grip when the heel first makes contact with the ground, while the EVA foam insert in the heel further improves shock absorption.
Safety reflectors on the Suxxeed Offroad ensure the wearer remains completely visible in low light conditions, while the lightweight toe caps protect from falling objects with up to 200J force and compression forces of up to 15,000N.
The non-metallic, puncture resistant midsole provides the wearer with flexibility, whilst protecting the entire surface of the foot. The reduced number of seams at the front of the foot limits the number of pressure points when the shoes flex, and advances resistance to penetration by liquids.
Long-term wearer comfort is a high priority with the Suxxeed Offroad safety footwear, which includes a breathable lining of 3D mesh, plus absorbent and moisture-wicking insoles.
