WHY AREN'T THE SAFETY SHOE SOLES ALL THE SAME?

 

For each profession, a safety shoe with a different sole

One of the most common mistakes we make when talking about third-class PPE is to think that safety shoes are all the same, or rather that, beyond some aesthetic characteristic or greater or lesser comfort, they all have the same functional features. A craftsman or a professional may buy a work shoe following, perhaps, the "advice" of a colleague or choosing more or less randomly among the many models available on the market.

U-Power wants all workers to be well aware and informed about what they are buying. Most of all, what they are wearing, to safeguard their safety, and in particular today we will focus on safety shoes soles design and why they are different from one model to another.

 

 

Have you ever noticed that work shoes’ soles have different designs from each other? Maybe not. If you don’t pay attention, the sole of a safety shoe may look the same as the other. Still, in reality, the differences are there, and, as you will see continuing to read this article, they are related precisely to the different works they are for.

For each profession, there is the safety shoe with the most suitable sole!

 

 

STRENGTH OF THE RED OVER LINE SAFETY SHOE SOLES
 

 

The Red Over line’s work shoes are suitable for those who do a job; they must protect the foot, both from the risk of blows and the cold or warm climate. For example, the Domination model is also suitable for First Aid and Civil Protection thanks to the high abrasion resistance, and they are all waterproof and ideal for outdoor works.

The Red Over shoe soles have a differentiated heights profile to improve grip with the Infinergy® technology allowing you to absorb the accumulated energy at each step and return it in cushioning. 

The multi-level stabilizing channels were then studied to provide slip resistance well above the minimum guaranteed for the best regulations’ standard, the SRC of the EN ISO 20345:2011.

 

 

 

COMFORTABLE SHOES AND SAFE SOLES IN THE RED LION LINE

 

Working with a comfortable safety shoe is the dream of many professionals who seek safety and comfort even when working outside, on hot summer days and in the cold of winter. 

That’s why the Red Lion collection by U-Power was born. It combines the safety aluminium toe caps with different uppers suitable for all climates, from breathable nylon to suede, from Putek plus to the water-repellent pull up lather to arrive at the end of the day with less tiredness and a dry foot in a healthy microclimate. 

Also, Red Lions safety shoe soles’ design has a sharp angle sole and multi-level stabilizing channels to ensure good sliding resistance. They have a high grip sole that significantly reduces the risk of injury on any surface, and, thanks to the multifunctional heel, they are also excellent for those who work on the stairs.

 

 

 

THE PERFECT OUTDOOR SOLES OF THE ROAR COLLECTION

 

Outdoor work can reserve many surprises, not all pleasant; you can be operating in the wet, on shaky grounds and with the risk of receiving some nasty blows both on the upper part of the foot and on the sole.

The Roar safety shoe line has unique features to ensure your work safety, even in these conditions, such as the anti-perforation insole, the aluminium toe cap, and the water-repellent fabric. The design of the sole is optimum, thinking of this type of working conditions.

An engraved lamellar profile, in fact, dramatically increases the tightness even on complex grounds and the drainage channel on the ergonomic design of the sole favours a rapid discharge of liquids and waste that allow having an optimal resistance to slipping even in wet and dirty conditions.

 

 

LIGHTNESS AND TIGHTNESS IN THE FLAT OUT LINE SOLES
 

 

U-Power has designed the Flat-Out collection, for those who often work on sloping roofs, a series of lightweight and well-balanced safety shoe models that allow you to work safely even on sloping surfaces with great comfort.

The Flat-Out safety footwear sole’s design ensure excellent stability thanks to the differentiated engraving profile that integrates the sharp angle sole and multi-level stabilizing channels to allow better sliding resistance.

U-Power has thought of suitable safety shoes for every profession, outdoors or indoors, in warm or cold climates and all climatic conditions, even with an exlusive sole design specifically made for different applications.
