High-rebound safety shoe

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

U-Power has launched the Red-Up collection of stylish, high energy-return, work safety shoes.

Innovative technology has enabled the use of High Rebound Elastopan, a new material from BASF, in the PU intersole of the Red-Up. This pioneering technology ensures a return of over 40% of energy to the wearer over the entire surface of the foot.

The company says: “Energy is regenerated and given back to the wearer to ensure better performance over time. The high-rebound, affordable, RedUp is also extremely flexible and lightweight, reducing fatigue and improving both posture and productivity.”

Suited to industrial areas, the RedUp shoe comes as ESD, and features Elastopan memory foam insoles, which take the shape of the foot and improve weight distribution and relieve pressure points, as standard.

Three styles also feature the Hypertex Putek technology, a breathable and water-repellent material that is 20 times more abrasion-resistant than traditional materials.

The Red-Up range of 25 different styles boasts all the high-quality protective and safety features that come with a U-Power product, offering excellent shock absorption, an aluminium safety toe cap and a non-metal pierce-resistant midsole. In addition, the Red-Up’s slip-resistance far exceeds the requirements of the European Standards.  

U-Power’s MD, Stuart Thorne, said: “The blend of softness, comfort, lightness, breathability and protection of the Red-Up shoe, plus the return of so much energy to the wearer, ensures a feeling of total wellbeing. Tiredness and fatigue are diminished, posture is improved, and productivity in the workplace boosted.”
