Stepping up protection

23 September 2013

In response to customer feedback highlighting the need for a comfortable, flexible metatarsal boot, Arco has developed the Arco Internal Metguard Safety Boot made with Poron XRD foam, a flexible, contouring and impact absorbing foam that is flexible under normal conditions but which, under sudden high impact, instantly firms to create a protective shield.

 

The foam takes the absorption of the strike leaving the foot unharmed. Prior to impact the foam remains comfortable and non-restrictive as it returns to its ‘resting’ state. The wearer has maximum and reliable protection on every hit as the molecules in the foam will not break down on impact or over a period of time.

 

The foam is manufactured into the tongue, removing the need for an overlaying level of protection, providing metatarsal protection without affecting the flexibility and ultimately not compromising safety and comfort while maintaining the look of a traditional workboot.
