Personal anti-fatigue matting
Italian safety footwear manufacturer U-Power has launched what it claims is the most technologically-advanced safety shoe on the market, the Red-Carpet.
The Red-Carpet range of 20 different styles is said to feature an anti-fatigue matting insert in every outer sole, made from a new material from BASF.
Wearing a Red-Carpet shoe is said to feel like standing on an anti-fatigue mat. The shoe stimulates the foot to continually revitalise blood flow and energy through the legs and feet, so eases fatigue and exerts a positive influence across the whole body, relieving neck, back, leg and joint pain, increasing circulation, providing exceptional comfort and hugely improving the working day.
Every Red-Carpet shoe comes as ESD as standard, is lightweight and flexible, highly slip resistant and features an anti-static, shock-absorbing, breathable Elastopan memory + Gel insole that moulds to the shape of the foot. Two of the styles feature Hypertex Putek technology, a breathable and water-repellent material that is 20 times more abrasion-resistant than traditional materials.
U-Power’s managing director, Stuart Thorne, said: “Gone are the days of expensive, slippery, hard to clean and maintain anti-fatigue matting that constantly needs to be replaced. The matting has been transferred from the workplace floor to the Red-Carpet shoe, sending the body stress relief they need direct to the wearer’s feet.
“And gone are the days of fatigued and aching legs and limbs for those whose jobs entail a lot of standing and little movement, such as in the automotive or packaging industries. The stress and trauma of a fixed work position are removed, just by wearing the Red-Carpet.”
