Red Carpet or Red360 safety shoes, what's the difference?

How to choose from the wide range of U-Power shoes?

We will never tire of saying it: work shoes are not all the same!

Even with the same safety rating, what makes the difference between one style and another is given by a number of parameters that are to be taken into account.
The technology used is definitely one of the main parameters, because it changes according to the specific work requirements. Thus, if you are a laborer and you work many hours standing, in a static position,RED CARPET technology will be better; while if you do dynamic work, where you move a lot-for example, on a construction site-a technology that allows you to recover energy, such as the Infinergy® system used in the RED 360 range/assortment, will be more important .

Each range/assortment of U-Power shoes is designed and engineered to specifically address particular work needs.

Not all situations, environments, and performance requirements are the same: some people work long hours on their feet and arrive at the end of the day with tired, heavy legs; others, while moving a lot like couriers and transporters, also spend a lot of time sitting inside the vehicle; still others are constantly on the move...

To get the best from your safety shoes, think first about what situations you find yourself in at work and opt for the footwear with the right technology to meet your specific needs

Let's analyze together the differences between these two World Red U-Power ranges/assortments

INFINERGY AND RED CARPET: COMPARING TECHNOLOGIES

When is it best to choose a safety shoe with Infinergy® technology and when one with red carpet technology?

Well, the answer depends on the type of work performed.
The Infinergy® system ensures a high energy return - well over 55 percent more energy! - and meets the needs of those who perform dynamic work.

In fact,Infinergy® can transform traditional cushioning into dynamic cushioning.

But what does this mean?

It means that this compound, inserted in the intersole, is able to store and conserve your own energy in the stance phase and then return it in the movement phase, pushing your foot forward.

The result is a feeling at the end of the day of less fatigue, greater well-being and more energy to use as you wish, with family and friends.

Infinergy® is, therefore, ideal for anyone who does dynamic work.

When, on the other hand, you stand many hours and maintain the same position for a long time, RED CARPET technology can help you reduce fatigue and improve work performance.

RED CARPET is a revolutionary compound from Basf that can absorb and relieve body stress by reducing trauma from prolonged standing at fixed work stations (e.g., assembly line).

Tests show that Red Carpet can reduce leg fatigue, lower back, joint and neck pain, and improve slow circulation.

In short, in addition to high comfort RED CARPET also ensures medium- and long-term benefits.

RED 360 RANGE/ASSORTMENT: A CONCENTRATE OF TECHNOLOGY

But why choose a work shoes from the RED 360 line?

Because, in addition to the Infinergy® system, this range/assortment offers countless advantages that can improve comfort, safety and stability.

Let's take a detailed look at some styles, perfect for this season:

RYDER and GANG - S1P SRC ESD safety rating.

These safety shoes with ultra-breathable nylon uppers feature a collar with Lycra® fiber fabric and two eyelets - one on the heel and the other on the tongue - that facilitate the fit and wrap around the foot, ensuring a high sense of wellbeing and comfort. In addition, like all other styles in the range/assortment, they feature a waterproof and breathable Shield technology clip positioned on the heel, which increases grip and reduces stress caused by impact and pressure.

The multidirectional tread improves stability, reducing the risk of accidental falls.

BRYAN - S3 SRC ESD safety rating.

BRYAN has the same features as RYDER and RYDER with the only difference being thePUTEK Star fabric upper with high abrasion resistance, waterproofing and breathability that make this style suitable in wet environments and for all those cases where higher footwear durability or S3 safety rating is required.

In addition, this style has a special sole protection against the cold ( CI protection) that can ensure the well-being of the foot.

WORK SHOES RED CARPET: GOODBYE HEAVY LEGS!

What are the advantages offered by the RED CARPET range/assortment?

As we were able to see at the beginning of this article, this technology is ideal for those who work in static conditions and for long hours on their feet. U-Power had Dr. Michele Montagna test the RED CARPET range/assortment shoes, and he was able to test their effectiveness firsthand (read thearticle for more).

To summarize, the RED CARPET insert allows the weight to be distributed in a way that reduces the load coefficient and improves and optimizes the functionality of the entire body. Circulation is reactivated, leg muscles contract and decontract better, and all the typical ailments of static positions, such as lower back, joint and neck pain, are reduced.

And, of course, safety is always prime:

• Airtoe Aluminium toe cap with breathable membrane




• Save&Flex Plus anti-puncturefootbed, totally "metal free" benefits




• Anti-abrasion, anti-oil, anti-slip and anti-static compact PUtread pattern

For the summer season, U-Power suggests the PUSH CARPET style with breathable nylon upper and soft suede leather and the SUMMER CARPET style with ultra-breathable Airnet® upper.
