Helium is a new concept of safety shoe from Lemaitre Securite, combining improved comfort and lightness, as well as ergonomics and safety.

The Helium range offers the following advantages: sporting design in line with current trends; non-metal and ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe lacing eyelets; composite protection (ultra-light and ultra-resistant to 200J as per - EN 345-1); as comfortable as a non-safety shoe; anti-puncture insert manufactured from para-aramide that makes it light, flexible, stable, and resistant to penetration over 100 per cent of the surface of the sole (as per EN 344-1); non-skid sole with parabolic profile (an exclusive patent of Lemaitre Securite) enhanced by an insert that doubles the density in the heel region.

The concave structure of this sole supports excellent grip on all industrial surfaces.

Moreover, during walking, after the foot has been placed, absorbed energy is released dynamically, thereby reducing fatigue for the wearer.

In addition, the heel is formed to provide additional safety in many situations (such as on loose or irregular surfaces or stairs).

Completely non-metallic, non-magnetic, non-conductive and ESD safe, the Helium is also insensitive to thermal shocks found in the work environment.
