Orthopaedic solutions

Foot problems are lifestyle-related and often make it impossible for people to wear conventional safety shoes. However, since the revision of DGUV Rule 112-191, employees are no longer allowed to wear their own insoles inside safety shoes. Instead, the employer needs to ensure that orthopaedic safety shoes are available.

Our orthopaedic shoe-making experts and certified uvex medicare system providers across Germany develop tailor-made solutions for our existing foot protection range. For you, this means faster access to contact partners across Germany, and a uniform style for all safety shoes used in your company. All of our solutions are type-examined either by the Prüf- und Forschungsinstitut Pirmasens e. V. (Test and Research Institute for Footwear Production) or by TÜV Rheinland.

• rocker sole
• butterfly roller
• inner or outer edge increase

Additionally or alternatively, we offer orthopaedically individually adapted comfort insoles.

Our orthopaedic uvex shoe adaptations and our comfort insoles are only certified with the majority of uvex safety shoes. To avoid safety risks, it is essential that you select the right safety shoe for the product.

Our safety shoes certified for orthopaedic adaptations are based on established uvex technologies. Suitable models can be identified by the uvex medicare symbol.
