The DGUV rule 112-191 says that every orthopaedic modification of work and safety shoes needs to be checked to see if the modified models still satisfy the requirements of the standard EN ISO 20345 (safety shoes) or EN ISO 20347 (work shoes).
According to DGUV rule 112-191, certified work/safety shoes by engelbert strauss are suitable for use with orthopaedic insoles, specially identified models can be modified by orthopaedic fittings.
Dryplexx® textiles can be very easily integrated into the onion principle. dryplexx® extreme, dryplexx® waterproof, dryplexx® hydro and dryplexx® softshell all stand out as weather experts for the third clothing layer. Be it weather jackets as an outer layer or safety shoes with a dryplexx® membrane – the system is always identical: excess body heat is transported outwards as vapour through micro-fine pores to regulate the climate. At the same time, the wind and weather are stopped and the body is protected from becoming cold and wet.
Highly windproof, waterproof, breathable.
- Extra waterproof
- Extremely breathable thanks to climate comfort and excellent moisture transportation via the functional fabric
- Extra lightweight and soft
- pleasantly soft to the touch, lightly warming fleece lining
warming, wind-repellent, breathable
dryplexx® fleece materials help regulated the temperature. Even during strenuous activites they keep the body dry and fresh.
Textiles dryplexx® micro are incredibly lightweight and warming. The pockets of air that collect in the fleece pile are highly suited to provide insulation, thereby regulating the climate.
see dryplexx® Softshell.
Textiles with the dryplexx® softlight material are also extra lightweight but still very durable so that you always feel comfortable however strenuous the task.
Soft, stretchable, good mobility, windproof and extremely breathable – these are terms that best describe the Softshell clothing.Softshells are far more windproof (and therefore also warmer) than fleeces, although not 100 % waterproof like all-weather jackets, but (and this is decisive) they are much more breathable! Softshells are extremely light and can also withstand even the heaviest use.
The strong material is windproof and protects against chills and draughts. Small pockets of air are created in the fleecy faux inner lining that act as an added heat reservoir. dryplexx® Thermaflor materials have a climate-regulating function. They always keep the body dry and fresh however strenuous the job.
Thanks to the excellent stretch comfort, the dryplexx® thermostretch materials feel like a second skin. They have a climate-regulating function. They keep the body dry and fresh however strenuous the job.
The waterproof dryplexx® membrane prevents moisture getting in. Also, moisture (sweat) is transferred out of the shoe via the climate membrane offering an excellent climate in the shoe.
The new generation of WEATHERPROOF
Permanently waterproof, highly breathable, perfect climate comfort. Based on the "sock principle", the dryplexx® functional membrane is completely worked into the shoe, providing professional, reliable and strong weather protection - guaranteed!
Outer fabric Weather protection
Mid layer Removal of the moisture
Membrane waterproof, windproof, breathable
Functional layer Transfer of the moisture
Inner lining Moisture absorption
The strong material is water repellent and absolutely windproof and protects the wearer from the cold and draughts. dryplexx® wind materials have a climate-regulating function. They always keep the body dry and fresh however strenuous the job.
The Dunova® principle with cotton keeps the body dry and warm by quickly discharging body moisture.

Particularly high abrasion resistance by Dynashield®:
Flexible impact absorbing device – for better abrasion resistance on many parts subject to heavy wear Tiny protection plates, which are cut, puncture and wear resistant, for durable, dynamic and breathable material reinforcement with stretch effect.
Intensive abrasion-resistance, tear resistance and durability tests have shown that bXeric® double weave lasts 3 times longer than cotton! The material can withstand up to 300,000 abrasion cycles, it is extremely durable, wear-resistant and maintains its structure – even in the toughest of conditions. The pilling properties are excellent! Compared to cotton/polyester mixes, the combination of polyamide and elastane is much more comfortable, water-repellent, fast-drying and breathable - whilst also being very lightweight and flexible.
