Comfort, safety and style

U-Power’s Gore-Tex footwear is totally breathable and waterproof and therefore suitable for the toughest of environments and extremes of temperatures, allowing sweat to evaporate and the foot to breathe in hot situations, while keeping the foot dry and comfortable in wet conditions. Yet as well as their rigorous safety, protection and comfort credentials, most of the styles in the new Gore-Tex range are designed with a fashionable sporty look and feel.

The collection encompasses 11 types of footwear, including four Gore-Tex styles in U-Power’s Roar range. Four styles of the more traditional black and brown hiking-style boots and a rigger boot are also available. Eight of the styles have electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties, to protect against static electricity.  

All models have breathable aluminium or composite Airtoe safety toe caps and pierce-resistant, lightweight Save & Flex Plus composite midsoles, and all are classified SRC, providing the highest level of slip resistance and practicality. Two styles are metal-free, so can be safely worn in magnetic environments.

Stuart Thorne, U-Power’s MD, said: "U-Power’s loyal, lifestyle-conscious customers know that its combination of pure Italian design, all-day comfort, innovation and top-quality materials makes wearers feel and look so good they want to keep their work shoes on in the evening. I have no doubt that the addition of the stylish Gore-Tex range will encourage customers to wear them even more often.”
