The launch of JALEXPAND from Jallatte^® brings a range of features and benefits specifically aimed at those working in the transport and distribution related sectors.

Developed by Jallatte^®'s Research and Development Team, the ultra lightweight JALEXPAND trainer boot, part of the new Lightane™ range, provides the perfect combination of excellent safety features, performance and comfort.

Safety and lightness is ensured with the inclusion of a 100% composite 200 joule Xetane™ safety toecap which is 50% lighter than traditional toecaps.

JALEXPAND has also been designed using Jallatte^®'s 3A Concept, specifically for those who are constantly on the move.

High performance grip is provided by the original tread pattern which follows the pressure zones of the feet. Added to this is Jallatte^®'s anti-torsion system under the arch, providing a high level of stability and a progressive heel shock absorber to cushion the impact between foot and floor.

Manufactured using full grain water-resistant Nubuck leather the stylish JALEXPAND provides excellent levels of ventilation ensuring foot perspiration is kept to a minimum, increasing wearer comfort.
"Staff working in the transport and distribution sector are continually on the go. As a result they need to be provided with safety footwear that not only meets their safety needs, but which is also extremely lightweight and comfortable.

"JALEXPAND takes all of these needs into account, taking safety footwear technology to new levels of protection, performance and wearer comfort,” said Jallatte®’s UK Business Manager Paul Hamer.

Features and benefits of other products in the Lightane™ range include the puncture resistant Flextane™ ballistic fibre midsole which is 70% lighter than steel and full grain water repellant leather.
