Heckel launches new tough Macsole X MX 300 GT Gore-Tex safety shoe

Sponsored content
Open-access content Friday 20th October 2017
From the archive:  Just so you know, this article is more than 3 years old.

heckel-unveils-new-suxxeed-offroad-safety-footwear-range-offering-performance-quality-and-style

The result of a 10-year partnership between Heckel and GORE-TEX®, famous for its 100% waterproof, yet breathable, products in the sports, leisure, and safety sectors, the MACSOLE®X MX 300 GT boot boasts a flexible and comfortable PU/rubber sole, giving maximum resistance to oils, hydrocarbons, chemical products and heat up to 300°C. The grooves to the rear of the sole give optimal grip as soon as the heel contacts the ground, ensuring excellent shock absorption.

The MACSOLE®X MX 300 GT GORE-TEX® boot is part of Heckel's new MACSOLE®X range of outstanding safety footwear. GORE-TEX® footwear in the MACSOLE®X range has been subject to the strictest GORE quality tests in the market, from the production of the prototype, through to the finished product.

The lightweight toe caps on the MX 300 GT boot protect the user from falling objects with up to 200J force and compression forces of up to 15,000 N. The anti-magnetic caps adapt to all morphologies, and conducts less heat and cold. The non-metallic, anti-puncture sole provides the wearer with flexibility whilst protecting the entire surface of the foot.

For added comfort, the boots are also equipped with a moisture-wicking and rapid-drying insole.The sporty design and classic look, with the Heckel logo embossed on each pair, make each model stylish and unique.

One major innovation is the Tychem® 6000 F FaceSeal, a tight coverall that features an integral rubber seal around the hood aperture. Designed to provide a perfect fit and tightness when wearing a full-face mask, this is the garment of choice for applications where liquid leaks may be a particular hazard. As well as providing protection for the wearer, the FaceSeal eliminates the need to use supplementary taping, which saves time when donning and doffing the garment and could therefore improve response times in emergency situations.
