MACASPHALT: Ideal for working with tarmac

The Heckel MACASPHALT safety boot is ideal for those working in extreme conditions faced by highway maintenance and road construction workers. Unlike other outdoor industries where safety footwear with a deep tread is recommended to cope with muddy and steep terrain, working with tarmacadam or asphalt surfaces requires an outsole with a smoother profile to avoid leaving marks in the material.

A true specialist in rubber soles, Heckel has been making its own advances in footwear technology for more than twenty years. Heckel’s products offer unparalleled slip resistance, resistance to extreme temperatures and durability. Specifically designed for working with tarmac, the Heckel MACSOLE® ASPHALT rubber sole has a smooth flat tread pattern to avoid marking the tarmac, all while providing excellent slip resistance. This also makes it suitable for a wide variety of other applications, including working with machinery.
