Putting a spring in the step
02 August 2018
U-Power’s RedLion footwear range is said to improve and increase the wellbeing of the wearer. The sporty, high-performance range incorporates a new mid sole that uses Infinergy, made of expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU).

U-Power says this insert springs back to its original shape immediately after impact, helping to maintain energy for longer periods than a conventional shoe. This is said to result in less stress, pressure, fatigue, backache and other musculoskeletal disorders as the insert returns more than 55% of positive energy to the wearer, aiding their wellbeing while walking during work activities.
Soft, flexible, yet stable and impermeable, U-Power says the footwear not only looks good, but is practical, with its aluminium toe cap, polysoft footbed, and composite mid-sole. The footwear 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.”
