DTE Co Ltd manufactures unique patented anti personnel mine
safety shoes. The company’s MFC CHECKMATE safety shoes are the
culmination of years of research and development. During design and
development, constant field testing for the confirmation of design
concepts has been the guiding line. Shoes that could be inflated and
deflated in seconds is the leading concept.
MFC CHECKMATE
The MFC CHECKMATE safety shoes provide the soldier, sapper or
commando with a means to safely cross minefields over any type of
terrain by simply slipping the compact folded shoes out of his pack,
inflating the air cushions and continuing on his way in mere seconds.
The MFC CHECKMATE safety shoes are easy and simple to use not by
chance but as a result of heavy research and field testing.
Regulatory Equipment
The shoes have been in use successfully for more than 15 years as part
of regulatory equipment of the IDF army, the French army and most
of NATO forces.

Air-cushions
The MFC CHECKMATE safety shoes are built on the principle of air
cushions which support the body weight while reducing pressure on
the ground below safe minefields values.
Portable
The CHECKMATE shoe folds up into a small lightweight package,
easily slipped into any army regulation pack, making it a true portable
personal minefield safety kit.
Exceptional Life span
Designed and tested to
a contractual lifespan
of 25 km at full load of
250kg corresponding
to the weight of the wearer and add-ons of his pack and a wounded
comrade, The CHECKMATE safety shoes have since shown a full field
capacity way above the requirements with shoes in service for more
than 15 years.
Air loss or punctures don’t impair the usefulness of the CHECKMATE
for the very low inside pressure permits only a barely perceivable
leakage.
