Comfort in work boots and safety shoes is generally determined by several key factors that contribute to arch support, protection and a comfy and safe feeling at work.

ELTEN's WELLMAXX range has an inbuilt heel and arch support insole (the material is called Infinergy Comfort Insole by BASF). The lightweight compound provides maximum energy rebound and shock-absorption as well as softer cushioning to prevent fatigue and reduce the risks of injuries at work.

Additional Tips When Buying Safety Footwear:

Measure In The Afternoon
Measure your feet in the afternoon because they change shape throughout the day. After a day of walking on them, and stretching them out, they will become wider & longer compared to their original size in the early morning. Take into account how your socks might add a few mm too.

Measure While Standing
Ideally, you should be standing instead of sitting during measurements. As this also affects the size of the feet. Ask for assistance if possible.

Measure From Heel To Longest Toe
Upon measuring, place the foot on a tape measure and measure it from the heel to the longest toe. The measurement from the heel to the longest toe is your shoe size.

Measure Both Feet
Do not rely on left or right. Always measure both feet as differences in length are common. A difference of 3 mm in length, give or take, is quite normal. Take the measure of your longest foot. 

Measuring Your Feet With The Paper Method (or watch the video above).
If you are unsure of the size you normally wear in any of those 'Sizing Types', then measuring your feet length will provide a guide as to what size footwear you need to order. Follow the simple guide below, measure 'both feet'. You will most likely find one foot is slightly longer than the other, which is quite normal.

Then find your boot size on our size chart by comparing your foot measurement. Please be aware that all boot and shoe manufacturer sizes vary slightly, and sometimes even vary between styles from the same manufacturer. So using this information is not foolproof and should be used as a guide only.

Still unsure? Please contact us on hello@stitchkraft.co, 03 6161 3933, or by using our contact form. Our friendly staff will happily assist you with any queries.

No shoe- or bootmaker claims to own the "true" sizing chart, hence you always need to double check!

As we manufacture in Germany, ELTEN's sizing runs slightly larger than the average US/UK/AU chart.  Our rule-of-thumb recommendation is to order a size down from your normal boots, runners or sneakers size.

No matter if you're a 100% sure or really uncertain regarding your size, it only takes 10 seconds to double check your current size against our sizing chart.

Still not sure? No worries - We've got you covered!

In 2023, we launched a more sustainable shipping satchel, which means that all orders sent from Stitchkraft's Tullamarine warehouse are now using satchels made of 100% bio-degradable waste a.k.a. recycled plastic that has had a previous life with components that will make it degrade in your green rubbish bin!

Our new sustainably sourced satchels and their recycled content are certified under GECA’s (Good Environmental Choice Australia) Recycled Product Standard.

Our satchels and safety shoe / boot boxes are designed to be recyclable.

We’re working closely with Elten safety footwear and its partners, and wider stakeholders to identify ways to make positive progress on the sustainability of packaging material for online retail businesses in the safety footwear industry.
