Discover which ANATOMIC BAU model suits your needs.
What makes the ANATOMIC BAU range so special
Waterproof smooth leather: Remains waterproof for hours on end
At the heart of every ANATOMIC BAU safety boot is the full-grain waterproof smooth leather. ATLAS uses only the highest quality cowhide – certified to the sustainability standards of the Leather Working Group (LWG).
Unlike simply coated leather, the waterproof smooth leather is inherently waterproof thanks to its structure: it offers lasting waterproofing for several hours and keeps your feet dry even in rain and wet conditions. At the same time, the leather remains supple and does not become hard or brittle – a crucial advantage for long working days on the building site.
The benefits for you: dry feet in all weathers, high abrasion resistance and natural comfort that improves with every day of wear. MPU Rebound System: Noticeably gentler throughout the working day After a 10-hour day on the building site, you’ll feel the difference:
The MPU® REBOUND SYSTEM from ATLAS is integrated into every ANATOMIC BAU model and significantly reduces the strain on your joints. The special cushioning technology in the sole springs back with every step (rebound effect) and makes walking noticeably gentler.
The benefits for you: Work more healthily by protecting your knees, hips and back. Fatigue-free walking, even on long working days. More energy at the end of the day.
S3 SRC: Maximum protection on the building site
All ANATOMIC BAU models comply with safety class S3 in accordance with EN ISO 20345 – the standard for demanding construction site work.
This means: a toe cap with 200 joules of impact energy, puncture resistance, a profiled outsole and a water-repellent upper. The SRC slip resistance ensures maximum grip on almost all surfaces – from ceramic tiles to wet surfaces
Your benefits: All-round protection for your feet, safety tested to European standards, and reliable grip even on slippery floors.
The right shoe for every job
The ANATOMIC BAU range covers a wide spectrum of applications with three different shoe types. From lightweight low-cut shoes for machine operators, to classic work boots for construction workers, right through to winter-proof boots for outdoor professionals – you decide which safety shoe best suits your job.

Low-top shoes: Flexible and precise for machine operators
ANATOMIC BAU 540 XP and ANATOMIC BAU 560 XP
The low-cut shoes in the ANATOMIC BAU range are the first choice for anyone who needs precise foot feel – for example, when operating pedals and controls in construction machinery, forklift trucks or cranes. Both models combine maximum freedom of movement with full S3 protection.
What both models have in common:
Both low-cut shoes feature the tried-and-tested waterproof smooth leather combined with an aktiv-X functional lining that regulates temperature. The XP metal-free puncture protection is more flexible than steel, significantly lighter and offers additional insulation against the cold. A robust steel toe cap protects your toes, whilst integrated reflective elements ensure better visibility. Both models are ideally designed for paved and earthy surfaces.

The ANATOMIC BAU 560 XP stands out thanks to its XR-MPU sole technology (eXtended Rebound) and an additional MPU overlay. The enhanced rebound reduces fatigue over long distances, whilst the overlay provides additional abrasion protection – ideal if you frequently kneel or come into contact with rough surfaces.
The ANATOMIC BAU 540 XP utilises the MPU INNOFLEX system – a holistic outsole design that offers maximum flexibility during the rolling motion. Its anatomical adaptation to the foot’s natural movement makes this model particularly dynamic and responsive.
