Safety footwear video

20 September 2018

U-Power’s RedLion safety footwear range has been designed to boost the wellbeing of the wearer. The sporty shoe features a new mid sole using Infinergy, made of expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU), as opposed to the more traditional PU.

U-Power says this insert springs back into its original shape immediately after impact, so helps to maintain energy for longer periods than a conventional shoe.

RedLion is said to reduce stress, pressure, fatigue, backache and other musculoskeletal disorders due to this insert, which is said to return more than 55% of positive energy to the wearer. 

A video – http://www.u-power.it/cms/en/redlion.html – illustrates the Infinergy mid sole and other benefits claimed for the RedLion, such as excellent slip-resistance and extreme breathability.

The footwear is said to improve the all-day comfort, wellbeing and conditions of workers subjected to long and repetitive periods of standing, kneeling or squatting, or those who walk short or long distances or up and down stairs at work, avoiding the very real risk of fatigue leading to accidents and injuries.

Soft, flexible, yet stable and impermeable, RedLion has an aluminium toe cap, polysoft footbed, and composite mid-sole. The footwear also retains an elastic memory at temperatures from +40 to -20°C, and is durable, anti-abrasive, and chemical-resistant.

Stuart Thorne, U-Power’s managing director, says: “Ultimately RedLion is about outstanding comfort, as its return of energy gives the wearer extra oxygen and vastly reduces weariness throughout the day."
