Aluminium Athletic Toe Cap:

The AIRTOX athletic aluminium toe cap is designed and shaped to accentuate the athletic fit. This toe cap is very lightweight and is featured in combination with our EVA sneaker-style outsoles. Certified following EU safety standards.

 

WHITELAYER®:

Not long ago Kevlar was known to be the new player in the game; an innovative, lightweight material for anti-penetration layers in safety footwear. Times are changing – the new, extremely flexible, highly breathable and EVEN LIGHTER material is here !!! WHITELAYER®

 

WHITELAYER® is the revolutionary new non-metal anti-penetration layer, being used by AIRTOX for the first time in the safety shoe industry. In collaboration with European Tech Group, we have developed this innovative material which has been used and tested by the US military on bulletproof garments.

 

It features an extremely low weight, extraordinary flexibility and outstanding performance in breathability and moisture absorption. WHITELAYER® has 8-15 times the strength-to-weight ratio in comparison to steel. Tested and certified following EU safety standards.

 

SHOCK ABSORBING, COOLING INSOLES 

AIRTOX safety and non-safety shoes aim to maximize comfort whilst protecting your feet at work or at home. An essential component of your AIRTOX footwear is an efficient insole that absorbs moisture and negative energy. This, in combination with our shock absorbing outsoles, prevents your feet from feeling tired and worn out at the end of the day. The AIRTOX specially made insoles are designed to not only provide daily support but also preserve a healthy climate within the shoe.

 

Cool&Me® Ventilation System:

This intelligent and breathable ventilation system keeps your feet dry and fresh even after long and strenuous hours of wear. Cool&Me® offers a microchannel ventilation structure which enables a steady air-flow throughout the shoe. At the same time, Cool&Me® neutralizes unpleasant odors which normally accumulate throughout the day.

 

EVA SuperLight MidSole:

EVA midsole is a well-known sole design that can be found in many regular lightweight sneakers. Like regular sneakers, EVA alone is unable to withstand extreme heat or durable enough to protect against chemicals. The AIRTOX solution is the EVA SuperLight MidSole, where we adopted the EVA concept and transformed it to comply with the safety footwear industry. 

 

The technology we have created is a version finished with a thin layer of NRT-rubber. This way we have maintained the soft and shock-absorbing properties of a regular sneaker and at the same time made it extremely durable, heat (300˚C), slip, oil and fuel resistantand antistatic. A very unique sole which adheres to EU safety footwear standards.

 

300o Heat Resistant NRT-Outsole:

Our NRT-rubber thinly layered outsole is used in combination with our EVA Superlight midsole. A perfect combination of super soft, lightweight material paired with strong, durable NRT-rubber. The high durability of the NRT-rubber means only the thinnest layer is required to adequately protect the user.

 

This means the total weight of each shoe can be kept suprisingly low for work shoes. NRT-rubber is also highly resistant to heat (up to 300˚C), oil and fuel. They are certified ESD and highly slip resistant. This is the most innovative athletic outsole technology used in safety shoes.

 

Aqua-Cell® Membrane:

Don’t let the weather get in the way of your daily activities. Choose a pair of AIRTOX safety shoes with Aqua-Cell® membrane. This reliable technology makes sure you stay dry and comfortable regardless of the weather conditions. Aqua-Cell® will keep your shoes highly breathable, 100% windproof and waterproof. AIRTOX safety shoes with Aqua-Cell® waterproof membrane won’t let you down in any wet weather conditions.

 

To ensure the Aqua-Cell® Membrane works at its most optimum, it is important to wear the right type of socks. Thin woolen socks or socks made from technical fiber i.e. hiking, sports socks are best. These types of socks do not hold onto the moisture produced by your feet and assist in keeping them dry. Never use the likes of sport-style cotton socks in membrane shoes as they will hold onto additional moisture and leave you with the uncomfortable feeling of wet and damp feet.

 

ENCLOSED HEEL AREA:

We know that work in tough conditions exposes every part of your feet to injuries. That is why AIRTOX safety shoes are completely enclosed.

 

ESD:

Most AIRTOX shoes are certified ESD. This means that each pair of shoes is equipped with an electrostatic dissipating sole. This makes them perfect to wear in any industrial environment where it is needed to reduce electrostatic charge that can cause costly damage on sensitive devices and equipment. AIRTOX safety shoes are the perfect choice for those working in the electronic, software or computer industries.

 

WIDE-FEET ADJUSTMENT:

AIRTOX products are adjusted to Scandinavian shoe standards. Our extra wide footwearis very comfortable for people with wide feet. We design our shoes with a variety of types of wide fitting; from the ergonomic extra wide nose fit to wide athletic fit. Feet come in many shapes, and studies have shown that the majority of the European population tend to have wide feet, especially in the Scandinavian region. 

 

Taking that into consideration, we have created a shoe line to meet these needs.

A very common problem with work shoes is they tend to feel too hot inside and sometimes make your feet sweaty. We have used the newest technologies to ease this problem.

 

There are a few things you can do yourself to get the most out of these features:

Never wear thick cotton/tennis socks, as these will make your feet sweat more. Cotton holds on to moisture and thereby makes your feet feel sweaty and wet.

 

Always wear thin technical socks or thin wool socks, as socks from these materials are very effective in leading the moisture away from the skin.

 

Never use spray products or too much grease on your leather footwear. Spray products and excess grease will clog up the pores of the leather and result in a less breathable shoe.

 

It is very important to know that shoes with Aqua-Cell membrane are already waterproof but also highly breathable. Therefore it is even more important maintain this effect.

GENERAL RULES
It is very important to regularly clean your shoes. After heavy use, wash them with a damp cloth, sponge or a soft brush. Never use chemical solvents – lukewarm water should be enough. If not, use a minimum amount of very gentle detergent. Remove all gravel and dust from inside. Remember to remove small pieces from the eyelets as well. Occasionally or if the shoes are very dry, rub a small amount of leather grease to ensure the leather remains smooth and flexible, this also assists to maintain the stitches and keep them from drying out and eventually breaking.

 

AIRTOX AND UTURN
If your shoes are equipped with UTURN laceless system we recommend to apply small amount of grease just under the wires, where strings are in contact with leather material. This will prolong the lifetime of leather and eliminate possible sounds of wire friction. We also recommend to clean your UTURN system occasionally to make it last longer. To clean UTURN system it is only necessary to clear it out from dust or other particles within the rotary unit.

 

WHEN AIRTOX ARE WET
When drying wet shoes, stuff them with paper to absorb the moisture from inside the footwear and to maintain their shape. Let the shoes air dry in a ventilated area – never dry them near any kind of heating source, as direct heat will dry out your shoes and make them less durable.

As for all shoes, lifetime of the AIRTOX footwear differs depending on the activity and usage. To make your AIRTOX sneakers last longer we strongly recommend to follow our guidelines on how to take care of the AIRTOX mens and womens work shoes. There is a ONE YEAR warranty on manufacturing faults from the original date of Purchase.
