ELTEN belongs to the leading safety and occupational footwear manufacturers in Europe. Since 1910, the family business has been producing safety footwear in Uedem (Germany). At this location, ELTEN produces more than three million pairs of shoes every year. This means that ELTEN has the right style in the right size for practically every professional application. ELTEN's success factors are: investment in contemporary safety concepts, the focus on sustainability, research in co-operation with scientists, technological innovation, use of high-tech materials, wearing comfort and fashionable design.
Being ahead of time
As a result of research projects with scientists, many ELTEN shoes score with exclusive, patented technologies. Like the ERGO-ACTIVE fit concept, where one safety shoe is offered for three different foot types, or the sole technology of the WELLMAXX series, where the Infinergy® material developed by BASF in the sole core provides unique cushioning with every step. This protects the joints, relieves the muscles, and requires the wearer to expend less body energy.
Brand of the century
ELTEN also offers many styles which have been specially developed for the growing number of women in the so-called "man's world". For example, the TREKKING LADY series received the Plus X Award for brand quality in the Best Product of the Year 2019 category. In addition, at the beginning of 2021, the Plus X Award for "Highest Customer Satisfaction" was awarded! And at the end of 2021, ELTEN was named "Brand of the Century" by an independent jury of the ZEIT publishing group.
