high-risk work environments, feet must withstand both falling objects and accidental punctures. Safetoe addresses this critical need by equipping our safety boots with VortiGard™ components—drawing on the concept of “Vortex + Guard”—to deliver dual defense through steel toe impact protection and puncture-resistant midsoles.
1. Brand Background & Technical Principles
VortiGard™ integrates high-energy impact absorption with zero-penetration design:
● Puncture-Resistant Midsoles
○ High-strength steel plate insole withstands 1 100 N penetration force (EN ISO 20344:2021 & ASTM F2413-18a).
○ Survives 1 000 000 flex-cycle tests with zero cracking.
● Steel Toe Impact Protection
○ Crafted from heat-treated alloy steel, it resists 200 J of impact energy (EN ISO 20345:2022 & ASTM F2413-18).
○ Internal toe clearance ≥ 13.0 mm (size 37), ≥ 14.0 mm (size 42), ≥ 15.0 mm (size 47)—all PASS in compression and impact tests.
This “steel toe + steel plate” system dramatically reduces the risk of crushing and piercing injuries. The name VortiGard™ evokes the swirling energy of a vortex and the steadfast protection of a guard.
