The robust uvex 2 safety shoe series, classified as S2/S3, is optimized for medium-heavy applications and targets industries such as chemicals, transport and logistics, energy, mechanical engineering, and trade. It features an exceptionally lightweight and flexible, 100% metal-free uvex xenova toe cap of the latest generation, a compact design, an anatomical shape, good lateral stability, no thermal conductivity, and is non-magnetic. The non-metallic, puncture-resistant insole meets the latest standards without compromising the shoe's flexibility. Made with new last technology for exceptional comfort, it offers an optimized wearing experience thanks to uvex climazone technology. The hydrophobic and breathable upper is made from particularly soft cowhide leather and ensures optimal ventilation through the Distance Mesh lining material. An individually adjustable elastic strap with a quick-release mechanism is included, as well as a standard replacement strap. The nearly seamless upper construction prevents pressure points, while the removable comfort insole is anti-static, provides a moisture management system, and includes additional cushioning in the heel and forefoot areas. The softly padded collar and cushioned tongue enhance comfort. The two-layer sole consists of an exceptionally lightweight and optimally shock-absorbing midsole, as well as a very slip-resistant outsole that is free from substances that can affect paint wetting, such as silicones and plasticizers. An injected polyurethane overcap protects the upper leather above the toe cap and significantly extends the shoe's lifespan. It also meets ESD requirements with a discharge resistance.
