Safety boot: Tough, but breathable
11 October 2016
The Smash GTX is the latest in U-Power’s collection of Italian-designed work-to-leisure footwear and is part of its new tough, but breathable and extremely waterproof, Gore-Tex-lined range.

The comfortable and sporty Smash GTX boot features a pull-up leather, waterproof upper, lined with a Gore-Tex membrane. The boot is said to give improved performance to the wearer and features hi-tech safety features such as U-Power’s Air Toe breathable composite safety toe cap, a pierce-resistant lightweight Save & Flex Plus midsole, and a thick, comfortable, moisture-wicking, anatomic polysoft insole that gives excellent shock absorption and support to the foot.
The Smash boot, with its slip and abrasion-resistant PU outer sole, is classified SRC, providing the highest level of slip resistance and grip. It is also metal-free, so reducing weight, increasing comfort, and allowing it to be worn safely in magnetic environments.
