Plus X Award seal of approval for uvex 2 safety shoes

As part of the new uvex i-gonomics PPE product system, the development focus of the uvex 2 concept was on reducing strain on the user's musculoskeletal system when working, in line with ergonomic principles. As a result, the uvex 2 safety footwear range incorporates extreme lightness, excellent shock absorption and stability for the foot, as well as extraordinary climate comfort when worn for long periods.

The robust yet stylish uvex 2 safety footwear is designed for moderate and demanding areas of application in sectors such as energy, transport and logistics, the chemical industry, airport services, metal processing and industries related to construction. The shoes and boots are either fitted with an upper material consisting of high-tech microfibres (protection class S2 SRC) or high-quality leather (protection class S3 SRC) and a duo PU outsole.

The uvex 2 safety shoes are back on the podium with the Plus X Award after winning an IF Gold Award 2016 and a Special Mention 2016 at the German Design Awards.
