How do you recognize a professional shoe? By the technology!

Do safety shoes have to be uncomfortable?

When many workers think of safety shoes and, in general, the work shoes they have to wear for many hours a day in the course of their work, the first feeling they associate with this important PPE is one of discomfort and annoyance.

Stiff, tight, heavy, safety shoes are the nightmare for many professionals who have to have them on their feet for long working days, often spent largely on their feet, perhaps outside, facing the winter cold and summer heat.

Fortunately, technology comes to our aid!

The good news is that research has come to meet the needs of so many categories of workers and has come up with a series of expedients that, in the dutiful safeguarding of the safety features of professional footwear, allow us today to offer you products that, thanks to the quality of the materials used and the innovative technologies applied, will make your working day lighter.

Let's take a look together at what the new technologies offer us.

THE INFINERGY® SYSTEM IN U-POWER SAFETY FOOTWEAR

U-Power 's commitment to professionals who need to wear safety shoes for their work focuses precisely on offering a range of work shoes that are based on the best technologies currently available, with a focus on the quality of the materials and the comfort of those who use them.

What are the innovative technologies applied today to the safety footwear you can buy from U-Power? Let's look at some of them that are used in our Red World, that is, in all those ranges/assortments of products specifically for different needs that we have lumped together under the Red label.

For example, in the work shoes of the Red Lion, Red Over and Red Pro ranges/assortments, we have employed a new sole material produced by the BASF Group, the world leader in plastic materials:E-TPU(thermoplastic polyurethane foam).

This is how ourInfinergy® System was born, which allows us to make lightweight soles with an optimal cushioning effect to reduce the feeling of fatigue, the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders, and always ensure ample freedom of movement in every situation.

We must never forget, then, that many times our safety footwear is used outdoors, in the most varied weather conditions and it is therefore very important to note that theInfinergy® System is based on a material that maintains its elasticity and cushioning capacity from -20°C to +40°C.

Try visiting our website and see how this system is applied differently in our real styles, such as Yellow from the Red Lion line, Legend from the Red Over line, or Nate from the Red Pro line.

OPTIMAL COMFORT WITH RED CARPET TECHNOLOGY

In addition, to alleviate leg fatigue and reactivate circulation during long days of standing work, U-Power has developedRed Carpet technology , which significantly improves the quality of life for professionals who often have to work in fixed positions for long periods of time. This innovative technology is applied throughout our Red Carpet line, such as in the Active Carpet style and also in the Red Up Plus line where it is combined withHigh Rebound technology , which we will discuss a little later, to have products with maximum comfort, such as the Gemini Plus shoes.

The well-being of professionals who have to work for hours in safety footwear is at the heart of U-Power 's daily commitment, which takes the form of continuous research into new technological solutions that can guarantee benefits from the point of view of immediate comfort during work and also long-term well-being, for the prevention of circulation disorders, back pain and other musculoskeletal pains, as also highlighted in a previous article by the tests conducted by Dr. Michele Montagna for U-Power.

CUSHIONING WEIGHT IN SAFETY SHOES

Among the factors that increase both immediate comfort and health protection is definitely the ability of safety shoes to cushion the weight of the wearer, that is, to absorb the mechanical energy received and return it in part to the foot.

From this point of view, U-Power 'sHigh Rebound technology offers excellent performance, going so far as to return, both when the foot is supported and when the foot is pushed, 40% of the energy absorbed.

This outstanding result was achieved with the use ofelastopan, an innovative polymeric material developed by the BASF Group, which allows the foot to be optimally supported, even with a shoe that still remains lightweight and comfortable.

You will find High Rebound technology in footwear from our Red Up and Red Up Plus ranges/assortments, such as the Sirio model, also suitable for women, and the aforementioned Gemini Plus style.
Another technological innovation from U-Power, the Wow2 anti-fatigue insole, which gives optimal and always cool support for those who are forced to work long hours on their feet, especially in static positions, is also applied in our Red Industry range/assortment containing lightweight and comfortable safety shoes such as the Denver style.

Good professional footwear from U-Power can be recognized by the technology and quality of the materials thanks to which they are able to protect, support and make the outdoor, standing or otherwise tiring work of many professionals in every sector less burdensome.
