Those working in the building field, in hospitals or in the manufacturing and hotel sectors waste a lot of physical energy on a daily basis. The technologies of the PORON® Comfort line are specifically designed for such work environments and offer a constant comfort during long, hard work shifts.
As the worker needs to continuously move during working hours, their footwear must face very demanding conditions such as a continuous compression coming from standing, a dynamic stress coming from walking and a potential danger from tools or other objects dropped on the feet.
PORON® Cadence offers special comfort that combines softness and support of the foot, letting energy bouncing back, so as to cover all the needs during long working hours spent standing and / or constantly walking. PORON® Performance offers a versatile solution that provides stability to the foot and load absorption.
It is particularly suited to those jobs where you are mostly standing still with some sporadic walking. PORON® Vive, on the other hand, is the best solution when it is necessary to move quickly and continuously; its multi-functional comfort combines the ability to reduce impact force with that of bouncing back part of the accumulated energy. The PORON® Comfort technologies, when inserted inside the shoe, offer an incessant weight support and a homogeneous distribution of pressure on the entire sole of the foot that lessens the stresses that a work shoe must withstand”. Lower quality inserts made of closed-cell and open-cell materials like PORON®, deteriorate very quickly. The microcellular structure of the materials of the PORON® Comfort line, when used as an insole or inside the midsole, can withstand the stresses due to bending, impacts, compressions and re-compressions generated during the long hours that workers spend standing still.
In addition to the PORON® Comfort technologies, we offer a different platform called XRD®, unique solutions for work shoes. Used to protect from impacts, XRD® materials are placed in the metatarsal area, around the internal and external malleolus, around the Achilles tendon (counter). PORON® XRD® offers comfort and softness during normal use but hardens when it is struck violently, thus offering effective protection at the right moment. Moreover, immediately after the impact, it returns to its original consistency, ready to protect against a possible new impact without loss of protective efficacy. The XRD® technology has been designed to face the harsh conditions of safety footwear, without affecting performance, throughout the whole life of the shoe. www.omnipel.com
