A company that rests on its laurels is sure to fall behind. This philosophy forms the basis of the innovative spirit you have experienced with ELTEN for decades. Thanks to many of our own developments, we have always been able to set new standards in occupational safety. Ground-breaking innovations such as ERGO-ACTIVE, SAFETY-GRIP, BIOMEX PROTECTION© or BIOMEX DYNAMICS have been created by our own development experts in cooperation with universities, high-tech research facilities and medical specialists from established sports medicine institutes. We are already working on ambitious visions of the future such as the “intelligent“ dynamic safety shoe.
A decisive criterion fort the safety and well-being of a shoe-wearer is the quality of the outsole of his shoe. Material, tread depth and tread design must be in line with the respective application area. Numerous variants are possible here − depending on the peculiarities and specific conditions of a workplace. We help you to find the right sole so that you are perfectly equipped for your work.
An ergonomic tread rib configuration ensures improved rolling and guards against fatigue. Rounded tread edges provide for safe footing on the ground.
Sufficient height of the individual tread bars is particularly important on uneven surfaces. Deep treads deliver superb grip.
Different sole types for various terrains provide improved grip and comfort.
Flexible and durable soles for tough outdoor environments.
Many people develop foot problems during their lifetime. It is often unnecessary to seek orthopaedic treatment for these. However, pain certainly draws attention to them, also whilst at work. Our personalised semi-orthopaedic insoles for safety shoes can provide help in such cases, before minor issues become orthopaedic problems. However, if an orthopaedic complaint has developed then special orthopaedic insoles or inserts are essential. In case of doubt always seek advice from the treating physician.
People's feet are as varied as the people themselves. However, there are three types which occur more frequently than others. In order to support the particular foot types efficiently, we have developed three different types of inlay soles. Each has a different level of arch support.
Support for flat feet and for comfortable shock absorption.
For significantly more comfort for medium arches.
For effective shock absorption if the foot arch is too high.
ELTEN SensiCare inlay soles close the space between the foot profile and the flat bottom of the shoe; they have a preventive effect as regards pain.
The latest sports science knowledge has been integrated into the patented Currex Soles technology.
A temperature-sensitive foil determines the individual foot form and the particular footprint with its significant problem areas.
Foot protection is essential for workers in hazardous environments. Our orthopaedic foot protection collection is designed to provide maximum comfort and safety.
Quality makes the subtle difference. High quality materials make a sustainable contribution to well-being and to the longevity of the shoe–one good reason why we only work with selected partners, who make these materials available to us for the production of our products. We work with leather and high-tech materials, which satisfy the maximum demands.
Animal hide is a material that is produced 100% naturally. Its properties determine the quality of the leather it produces. Significant variations in quality can arise even with the same leather. Special processes during tanning and finishing can further improve positive production characteristics. Leather is characterized by its good breathability, longevity, stability of form, and simultaneous flexibility. All substances used in the production of our leather are subject to strict legal specifications.
Textile materials used in the production of shoes must withstand particular challenges. Wear-resistance, longevity, and special functions such as moisture absorption or water-tightness are required here. They should also be environmentally friendly, free of hazardous substances, and kind to skin. In many workplaces, metal-free safety shoes are essential. Those allergic to leather can also play it safe when opting for a pure textile product.
The number one rule when selecting the right shoe: It must fit! This is even more important with shoes that are used daily and for many hours at a time – work shoes. If the foot protection gives cause for complaints because the fit is wrong then it may end up left on the shelf. If the shoe is worn despite this then painful or tired feet become a distraction during work, potentially also posing a risk to safety – for both the wearer and their colleagues. ELTEN has therefore set itself the target of providing all workers with safety footwear that fits them perfectly, regardless of age and gender.
Safety risks at the workplace need to be avoided at all times – also for the feet. Comfortable safety shoes are an important part of PPE. But how can the perfect shoe make it onto the foot? The answer: by a technically high end measuring system and the thus gained recommendations for foot protection with optimal fit. And exactly in this area we have researched and developed intensively.
Our ladies fit shoes provide the right balance of comfort and protection. Specifically designed to fit the unique shape and needs of women’s feet, they offer superior grip, support, and flexibility for all-day use in demanding environments.
Comfort is a decisive criterion when selecting the right safety shoe. The level of concentration at work can be massively influenced if the wearer does not feel comfortable in his shoes or if these even cause pain. And of course, that distraction can lead to accidents. Uncomfortable shoes are unpopular. We therefore ensure not only the safety of the shoe wearer but also the maximum possible comfort and well-being.
In contrast to working areas where activities predominantly take place whilst seated, conventional workplaces bring with them increased strain on the ankle, knee and hip joints, as well as the back, due to constant standing, walking and kneeling for many hours. Very hard floors are frequently also a factor here. When selecting the correct individual degree of cushioning it is always necessary to bear the specific workplace in mind. Because the foot is stressed in the heel and ball area when standing, and across its entire area when walking, the whole area of the foot should ideally be cushioned in a work shoe. Alongside the use of high quality materials with good durability and resistance to fatigue, a soft, embedding insole is particularly important.

This section details the special dangers associated with certain environments that require additional protective measures. Whether it's extreme temperatures, hazardous chemicals, or high-impact zones, specialized safety measures must be employed to ensure worker safety.
In addition to basic protective gear, some environments call for advanced safety features, such as anti-slip soles, reinforced materials, or even technology-enhanced equipment to keep workers secure at all times.
We adhere to international safety standards and norms to ensure our products are top-notch in terms of both safety and durability. This guarantees that the safety gear we produce is reliable and effective under the most stringent conditions.
