Product catalog summary
Brand Overview
Heckel Sécurité, part of the uvex group, is a prominent manufacturer of safety footwear located in La Walck, France. Since 1970, the company has focused on rubber processing for innovative sole technologies, producing personal protective equipment (PPE) for extreme applications globally. Their products cater to both performance sectors (extreme environments and heavy-duty industries) and all-round sectors (light industry, construction, services).
MACsole® Technology
The MACsole® range includes several product lines tailored for specific environments:
  • MACsole® EXTREM 2.0: Designed for heavy and chemical industries, offering exceptional grip, temperature, and chemical resistance.
  • MACsole® ADVENTURE: Metal-free, ideal for outdoor work with deep treads and reinforced sides.
  • MACsole® SPORT: Lightweight and breathable for light industry and services.
  • MACsole® PLUS: Versatile and durable for various applications.
Key features include unrivaled grip, thermal insulation, shock absorption, and durability due to exclusive rubber compounds.
Product Specifications
Each product line is designed with specific technical specifications:
  • MACFOREST and MACRANGER: Suitable for foundry and steelworks, featuring full-grain leather, metal-free components, and thermal insulation.
  • MACSILVER and MACTREK GTX: For construction and mountain work, offering metal-free protection and GORE-TEX® lining.
  • MACFOREST ZIP and MACDERRICK: Ideal for oil, gas, and chemical sectors, with waterproof features and reflective elements.
  • MACSILVER INTEGRAL and MACPOLAR: Provide protection against falling objects and extreme cold, respectively.
Standards and Compliance
The footwear complies with European standards, including EN ISO 20345 for safety footwear, ensuring features like penetration resistance, anti-static properties, and heat insulation. Products are tested for slip resistance under various conditions, meeting industrial usage requirements.
Specifications and Standards
The document outlines safety footwear specifications, referencing standards such as DIN EN 344-1 / -2 and EN ISO 20344. Basic requirements include impact resistance of toecaps with categories SB (200 Joule), PB (100 Joule), and OB (no requirement). Additional features include closed heel, anti-static properties, and energy absorption around the heel. EN ISO 20349 addresses footwear protecting against thermal risks and molten metal splashes, expanding on EN ISO 20345.
Testing Procedures
Footwear for foundries is tested for resistance to molten metal, marked with 'Al' for aluminium and 'Fe' for iron. The MACsole® Extrem 2.0 series underwent tests involving submersion in liquid aluminium at 780°C, ensuring no metal penetration, intact soles, and internal temperatures below 71°C.
Heckel Journal and Brand Ambassadors
The Heckel Journal shares experiences of brand ambassadors like Stéphane Luchini, who operates in extreme conditions such as forest fires and polar expeditions, highlighting the importance of Heckel safety footwear in providing protection and comfort.
Technological Insights
The document discusses the vulcanisation process, pioneered by Charles Goodyear, enhancing rubber's durability and resistance. Heckel's MACsole® technology uses this process to produce slip-resistant, durable, and comfortable soles.
Case Studies and Adventures
Expeditions in the Antarctic and Mongolia showcase the performance of Heckel footwear in extreme conditions, emphasizing its ability to withstand harsh environments while maintaining comfort and safety.

HECKL EQUIPEMENT POUR L'EXTREME ASYMMETRIC SCUFF CAP EXTREM 2.0 Heckel conducted an annual survey about safety footwear which clearly showed (in more than 95% of cases) that the area most exposed to wear at the front of the shoe is on the inside of the scuff cap. Based on this result, Heckel's R&D Department decided to create an asymmetric scuff cap to protect the areas most vulnerable to wear. Our rubber MACsole® ensures extreme strength.
