Innovative safety shoe uses composite materials
Helium is a new concept of safety shoe from Lemaitre Securite, combining improved comfort and lightness, as well as ergonomics and safety.
Safety shoe has sporty appearance
The Sporty S3 is a new safety shoe made with water-repellent, supple black leather lined with foam and Cambrelle.
The Helium range is available in a low-cut version, Haboob S3, and a high-cut version, Hurricane S3, which supports and protects the ankles and the Achilles tendon.
Made of soft and durable water-resistant full-grain leather, it is lined with Cambrelle for greater comfort.
This 100% polyamide lining transfers moisture from the skin to the exterior and is highly resistant to abrasion.
It absorbs perspiration while keeping the foot dry.
There is also a version lined with a Gore-Tex sock: Hegoa S3.
In addition to its sporty and stylish design, the range offers numerous protective advantages.
Its synthetic TPM protective toecap is ultra-light, ultra-resistant (200 J, compliant with ISO 20345), against the risk of damages to toes.
Non-metallic and without fiberglass, it is lighter and more elastic than a composite or steel toecap, and above all, will not split or break in case of an impact.
An anti-perforation insert made of para-aramid fibers is light, flexible, stable and resistant to perforation.
It covers 100% of the footbed.
Just like the TPM toecap, it is non-conductive to heat and/or cold, which is particularly suitable for people working outside.
The anti-slip sole with a curved Parabolic profile (an exclusive patent of Lemaitre Securite) is supplemented with a double-density insert under the heel.
The concave structure of this sole gives an excellent grip on all industrial floor surfaces.
After the compression phase during walking, the energy is restored, thus giving a dynamic, spring-like effect.
The heel provides proper protection for extra safety in numerous situations such as walking on cluttered or irregular floors, climbing ladders, etc Fully non-metallic and non-magnetic, Helium shoes are resistant to thermal variations and transfers from 14 to 104F.
They are undetectable by metal detectors or security scanners.
They are also resistant to hydrocarbons and acids.
