Michelin soles for Würth MODYF’s Cronos line

The international workwear and footwear group Würth MODYF chooses Michelin soles, synonymous with quality and durability, for its new line of work footwear. From the collaboration between Würth MODYF and JV International, worldwide licensee of Michelin soles, comes Cronos: a collection designed to provide workers with maximum protection on construction sites and on uneven terrain, where they face harsh weather conditions and high risks every day.
The Cronos line is definitely the flagship product of the 2024-25 catalogue for Würth MODYF Italia. It is a line of safety shoes with exceptional performance, designed for professionals who every day work in extreme conditions and for this they need resistance, reliability and safety. “For this important project, we have chosen to entrust the manufacture of our soles to a brand recognised by all as synonymous with excellence, the Michelin Group. Already an international leader in the world of tyres, it has in recent years expanded its range of services to include the footwear market. We are proud and satisfied to have them as our business partner; they have exceeded our highest expectations,” comments Loris Baldo, Head of Category Management at the Würth MODYF Group.
With this partnership, high quality Work&Safety meets Soles by Michelin technology, offering operators safety they can count on, step by step.
Two shoe models have been designed for the specific needs of workers: Cronos S3S and S7S. Here the Michelin sole plays a key role, not only because it is certified for slip, oil and contact heat resistance, but also because it offers thermal insulation, heel protection and lateral stability. The special tread design also ensures optimal grip while maintaining good footwear flexibility.
The design of the latter, together with the combination of the compound materials, make the Cronos collection an emblem of excellent quality in the world of occupational safety.

Cronos S3S
The new Cronos S3S work shoe is designed for the toughest and most adverse working conditions, where the use of a durable and comfortable sole really makes a difference. In fact, the Michelin-certified sole makes it a perfect shoe for dirt or oily surfaces, thanks to its non-slip certification. Like all S3 models, it is water-resistant; the nubuck leather upper has a water-repellent treatment that protects the foot while working outdoors. To ensure maximum safety at work, the shoe is equipped with a fibreglass anti-crush toecap and an anti-puncture textile insole. This way, not only are you protected in case of falling heavy objects or if you walk on nails or sharp splinters, but you also have a light and comfortable Metal Free shoe to wear during long working days. The Cronos S3S is available in Low and Mid versions, in two colours: black for the Low and brown for the Mid.

Cronos S7S
The Cronos S7S model has the same features as the S3S model, but has greater protection against water. In fact, it too has an upper in prestigious water-repellent nubuck leather, while the addition of the Modytex® membrane gives it complete water repellence, perfect for those working outdoors or in very wet environments. As for the S3S model, it has a PS fabric insole that prevents perforation of the foot, as well as a fibreglass toecap to protect the toes from impact and crushing. Also for the S7S model, it is the quality of the materials used and the robust Michelin sole that make the difference, making it a stable and resistant shoe with performance and quality levels above the market average. In fact, the Cronos line is recommended for the construction industry and for those work contexts that are particularly tough and require greater solidity and robustness.

Cronos S7S
Il modello Cronos S7S ha le stesse caratteristiche del modello S3S, ma ha una maggiore protezione contro l’acqua. Anch’essa ha infatti una tomaia in prestigiosa pelle nabuk idrorepellente, mentre l’aggiunta della membrana Modytex® dona completa idrorepellenza, perfetta per chi lavora all’aperto o in ambienti molto umidi. Come per il modello S3S, ha una soletta in tessuto PS che impedisce la perforazione del piede, oltre a un puntale in fibra di vetro per protegge le dita da urti e schiacciamenti. Anche per il modello S7S, sono la qualità dei materiali utilizzati e la robusta suola Michelin a fare la differenza, rendendola una scarpa stabile e resistente, con performance e livelli qualitativi superiori alla media di mercato. La linea Cronos è infatti raccomandata per l’edilizia e per quei contesti lavorativi particolarmente duri e che richiedono una maggiore solidità e robustezza.
