SOIL & STAIN PROTECTION
FRESHTECH®
A multi-layer textile composite made from high-tenacity yarn, this woven fabric is treated to achieve varying levels of hardness while maintaining flexibility. Sewn directly onto the upper, this tough textile insole protects 100%
of the bottom of the foot (unlike a steel plate), offering strength and protection with flexibility.
HYPER-DRI®
HD3
HYPER-DRI® FOOTWEAR
A unique midsole pillar design compresses with body weight, offering increased support and cushioning. Various polyurethane densities absorb weight and disperse pressure while walking. The resulting rebounding effect means more comfort and less fatigue.
X-TOE® EXTERNAL SAFETY TOE
QUAD COMFORT® PILLAR TECHNOLOGY
This durable treatment enhances the release
of stains from fabric during home laundering without affecting the garment’s look or feel, which helps the clothing look new for longer.
This innovative footwear technology addresses shock absorption, weight distribution, cushioning and pressure displacement. These four components are integrated from the insole to the bottom of the outsole.
Technology applied to the footwear outsole.
A unique tread pattern combined with advanced compounds increases the friction coefficient on the outsole to help prevent slips and falls on wet or greasy surfaces.
This lightweight, hypo-allergenic insulation provides warmth without bulk and wicks moisture away from the body to help regulate body temperature. T-MAX® insulation uses high-performance fibres designed to keep the body warm, dry and comfortable. Machine washable, with excellent loft retention.

WAIST
Fabric is modified at a molecular level to repel liquid spills so they’ll instantly bead and wipe off without leaving a mark or moisture. WRINKLE RESISTANT technology makes garments ready to wear out of the dryer and throughout the day.
A tightly woven flex-fibre weave that combines the durability of traditional cotton duck (canvas) with resilient stretch fibres, providing maximum mobility and comfort throughout stress areas.
A lightweight water-resistant, breathable barrier applied to the outer surface of footwear lining keeps feet dry and comfortable. Sealed critical seams enhance water protection.

Flame-resistant (FR) material helps provide protection, limits damage and provides crucial seconds to get away from thermal hazards
such as a flash fire or an electrical arc. An FR garment doesn’t burn—or burns briefly then self extinguishes—while insulating the body against the heat source.
A unique application in which polyurethane is added during the finishing and processing stages to boot leather to increase durability and weather resistance. A finishing spray applied to the boot after construction helps extend the life of the footwear and protect against soil, rain and oils.
Assembly-Line Workers
Retail & Service Staff
FABRIC INNOVATIONS
Garments created using superior technology that provides improved heat retention and body temperature regulation. A technical blend of fibres or specialized dyes helps increase heat dissipation in warm weather or retain heat in cooler environments.
A water-repellant, breathable fabric treatment that provides protection and comfort without weight in everyday situations. Maintains natural breathability while repelling water.
WATER PROTECTION
Uses a molded toe cap applied to the outer work boot to increase the life of the toe area. Extremely durable and quite flexible, DURATOE helps ensure work boot toes can withstand hard wear.
NO BAG,
NO SAG DENIM
A water-resistant, breathable fabric treatment that provides protection from light rain and snow. Critical garment seams are sealed to enhance water protection.

SOIL & STAIN RELEASE
This safety toe technology provides all the protection of steel toecaps without any of the discomfort. Because the steel toe is on the outside of the upper, there’s more space, greater comfort and greater distance from cold steel for the foot inside the boot.
Sports Teams
Hidden stretch fibres run vertically through the waist to provide excellent fit and stretch in every direction. This technology maintains comfort and fit after repeated wash and wear.
Hospital Workers
