SUMMER 2020: DISCOVER ALL THE NEWS ON WORK SHOES

 

When you are required to wear safety shoes for many hours, one of the most frequent problems is the swelling and pain in your feet at the end of the day, especially during the summer, when you feel the heat.

You cannot and, for sure, you must not do without work shoes: they serve to protect your feet from a possible traumatic event or accident at work!

How to solve the problem, then?

 

 

You can overcome the problem of swollen and aching feet at the end of the day by choosing a quality work shoe that uses materials and technologies designed to safeguard the health of the foot, such as the U-POWER’s one.

The quality of work footwear is due and the protection characteristics required by the European Legislation, by specific connotations to ensure well-being and comfort which, together with safety, are a fundamental requirement to avoid discomfort nuisances both during use that at the end of the day.

Let’s take a look at them!

 

1. WHICH REQUIREMENTS SHOULD LIGHTWEIGHT AND BREATHABLE SAFETY SHOES HAVE?
2. ULTRA: BREATHABLE U-POWER SUMMER SAFETY SHOES MORE BREATHABLE THAN EVER!
3. U-POWER LIGHTWEIGHT SAFETY SHOES FOR SUMMER 2020

 

Let’s start analysing together the parameters to take into account while choosing comfortable and lightweight safety shoes.

 

 

WHICH REQUIREMENTS SHOULD LIGHTWEIGHT AND BREATHABLE SAFETY SHOES HAVE?

 

During summer and offering protection, work shoes should be lightweight and breathable to suffocate the foot and allow good freedom of movement while working. Of course, appearance is also essential!

The worker often doesn’t change his shoes when he gets off work: the best breathable safety shoes are also perfect for leisure time thanks to a casual and sporty look, suitable for every occasion.

 

 

But which are the characteristics that we should look for when we buy lightweight work shoes?

We always have to pay attention to some requirements such as:

• ✔ The shape of the shoe, which must guarantee comfort and optimal support;
• ✔ The materials of the upper, which design ensure proper breathability and ventilation of the foot;
• ✔ Lightness in terms of weight, so as not to burden the loads on the joints and reduce stress;
• ✔ The insole must be anatomical, breathable, possibly antibacterial and wrap the sole to minimise the small bumps and pressures to which it is subject.

 

The problem of breathability, with summer heat, is not a secondary and negligible issue. Instead, it becomes a primary issue because it could undermine the worker’s concentration and attention to possible risks.

When we consider the purchase of our safety shoes, we should never forget to consider the class of protection and the current European Legislation.

A conscious purchase choice is a crucial parameter for ensuring protection, safety and avoiding swollen and painful feet.

 

 

ULTRA: THE BREATHABLE U-POWER SUMMER SAFETY SHOES MORE BREATHABLE THAN EVER!

 

And it is to meet some particular needs such as the conformation, the upper, the lightness, the lining and the insole that U-POWER has created a unique work shoe of its kind: it is called ULTRA!

 

 

ULTRA is the brand new model of the RED LION line in Protection Class S1P SRC ESD, which guarantees safety and absolute freshness.

The unique feature is upper in a brand new innovative wide-textured material that allows the air to pass while maintaining an S1P class shoe’s protective characteristic.

But let's look at it in more detail:

• ✔ Wide-weave mesh upper in innovative material, super breathable Airnet and grey suede leather:
• The suede leather composes the upper in the back, top and front of the shoe, ensuring strength and support. In contrast, the side parts and the inserts on the heel side in ultra-breathable mesh fabric with a wide texture ensure freshness and maximum breathability.
• The effect is comparable to that of work sandals despite being closed footwear in all respects.

 

• ✔ All inner parts corresponding to the suede upper have a Wingtex lining with respirable air tunnel, with micro-cells that absorb and disperse the humidity, to ensure high breathability.

 

• ✔ The toe cap is in Airtoe Aluminum with a breathable membrane that guarantees protection and safety and weighs only 54 gr.!

 

 

• ✔ The Save & Flex PLUS anti-perforation system, totally "Metal-free", is much lighter than the classic steel insoles and is flexible and safe. The Save & Flex PLUS insole is sewn directly onto the upper, ensuring 100% protection of the sole against the 85% protection of the classic steel insole.

 

• ✔ Basf Elastopan Memory insole, soft and enveloping, with canalizations and holes that favour air recirculation. The lining fabric is antibacterial, absorbs sweat and allows the foot always to remain dry.

 

• ✔ Infinergy® insert ensures energy recovery: over 55% more energy at every step!
• A concentration of technology that transforms traditional cushioning into dynamic cushioning can restore positive energy: energy is conserved in adherence to the ground phase and returned in the foot’s pushing step.

 

• ✔ The thick PU tread is anti-abrasion, oil-proof, non-slip and anti-static.

A unique model of its kind, available only in the RED LION line, which, together with the other proposals of U-POWER work shoes, completes the range of summer safety footwear.
