Safeway dedicates a significant portion of its annual investments to the development of technologies that improve the safety and well-being of workers.
Upper
MicroSafe
MicroSafe is the microfibre designed by Exena for the SafeWay range.
Breathable, tear-resistant, excellent against everyday wear and tear.
TexFiber
TexFiber is the soft and economical upper material, machine washable at 40°.
Micro-tech
Micro-tech is the top-of-the-range microfibre used in many Exena products.
It offers very high performance in terms of breathability, water repellency and durability.
Lining
Bacteria wall
Bacteria Wall is the essential material used to make the linings for many items in the SafeWay range.
It is a material with permanent antibacterial properties that allows disinfection of the footwear and maintenance of hygiene over time
Top-Mesh
Top-Mesh represents the contemporary evolution of the traditional mesh lining.
The improved weave allows excellent breathability and at the same time much greater resistance than in the past.
X-Mesh
X-Mesh is the breathable and hard-wearing inner lining for Exena and SafeWay models, a must-have for the main models in the collection.
Toe cap
All toe caps used in Exena safety footwear are certified according to European standard EN ISO 20345:2011 or EN ISO 20345:2022 and subsequent amendment A1:2024. Resistance tests require that the toe cap does not deform excessively in the event of impact or compression. In both cases, the tests are conducted with a weight exerting a force of 1500 N.
T-Lite
T-Lite is the lightened toe cap applied on the mid- to high-end product lines.
It is made entirely of composite material and is non-magnetic.
Shock resistant up to 200 joules.
Steel
Steel is an all-steel toe cap designed for entry-price and heavy-duty footwear lines.
It is resistant to impacts of up to 200 joules of force.
Outsole
2D
2D is the evolution of the traditional single-density polyurethane sole.
It is composed of two layers, both made of polyurethane: a lower (stiffer) high-density layer and a traditional upper (softer and more elastic) that together maximise the sole’s durability and perceived comfort.
1D
1D is the mono-density polyurethane sole, applied to many items in the Exena and SafeWay product ranges.
It is certified slip resistant and durable.
Insole
Exena insoles are designed and manufactured to be compatible with the main technical features of the models in the catalogue. The materials used and the shapes chosen maximise the benefits of the technical specifications of each model in which they are applied, significantly increasing perceived comfort and breathability.
Top dry
Top Dry is applied to many work boot models in both the Thunder and Nitro lines.
It is a multi-layered anatomical insole, which combines a felt base (with slip stop system and activated carbon support) with a breathable and absorbent fabric upper layer, for feet that are always dry.
Impulse
Impulse is the most widely used insole in the Exena range and is part of the Storm line.
It consists of two layers, one in ultra-light polyurethane and one in breathable mesh, to help absorb perspiration and keep the foot dry.
Energy
Energy is the most popular of the Exena insoles.
It is an insole that is perfect in its structural simplicity: a simple layer of polyurethane foam with an air bubble insert in the heel that promotes the return of kinetic energy dissipated during walking.
Air dry
Air Dry is a variant of the C-Dry insole made especially for many models in the SafeWay range (including those in the High Tech line).
Instead of fabric, canvas is used in combination with polyurethane foam to maintain the same benefits of fit and make them applicable to the Ho.Re.Ca. working environment.
