Our first insole for industry
Launch of insoles specially designed and adapted for safety footwear, meeting the exacting standards of this sector.
Exclusive S3F® process to address hygiene issues
Sweating, skin fungus, hot and humid environments… There are no comprehensive statistics on these types of foot problems, but one thing is certain: it is important to protect against these types of bacteria in safety shoes to avoid discomfort and pain. JLF Pro® has thus developed the exclusive S3F® solution to prevent development of odours and growth of the bacteria and fungi that cause athlete’s foot.

Creation of the JLF Pro® brand, for the professional world
The JLF Pro® brand is created so that wearers of safety shoes can recognise the products that best meet their needs. The entire JLF Pro® range has been designed and developed in collaboration with recognised podiatrists and specialists and meets the current standards.
First cushioning sole with Vibracut® technology
To provide better support within the shoe, the R&D of Groupe JLF develops products adapted to foot anatomy, in third-generation materials with excellent cushioning properties. Thanks to additional cushioning, JLF PRO offers insoles that limit pain and provide comfort in work shoes.

New product and new communication materials
With SafetyPlus the benchmark in its category, JLF Pro has created Safety Warm to meet a frequent user need: combining warmth and comfort. Its plus point : its antistatic properties.
In line with current trends, such as the new ISO standard recommending the use of antistatic socks with footwear of the same type, JLF Pro is taking the lead and adapting its products accordingly.
