OUR SHOE TECHNOLOGIES

With over 40 years expertise and R&D behind us, we have done everything we can to make our safety shoes more comfortable than ever. We have developed 3 exclusive technologies with the ambition to provide even more comfort.

What inspires us: the natural shape of the foot, the arch, this architectural whole that cleverly combines all the bone, joint, ligaments and muscles of the foot together.

Why? Because thanks to its changing curve and elasticity, the arch adapts to the terrain. It acts as a shock absorber that is essential for flexibility.

This symbol of action, the ability to adapt and move forward is represented by the round shape of our 3 exclusive technologies.

VPS SYSTEM

The shoe’s ergonomic shape maintains the natural arch of the foot, following the arch’s curve. This support inside the sole itself provides unrivalled comfort, particularly in the case of small or shuffling steps and extended periods of standing still.

DRS SYSTEM

Our DRS technology is in the heel and acts as a shock absorber. DRS is a cavity under the heel, in the shape of a semi-circular indent. When the heel is in contact with the terrain, this cavity falls inwards and moves with the heel to adapt to the terrain, preceding the foot’s roll and forward movement. You will find the DRS 2 on our Racing sport sole.

PARADE AIR SYSTEM

Our PARADE AIR SYSTEM technology is also inspired by the organic shape and roundness of the arch of the foot. The PARADE AIR SYSTEM is an air bubble encapsulated in the outsole of the shoe. This air cushion technology assists flexibility when walking.

SHIELD ONE: OUR ABRASION SHIELD

Our exclusive SHIELD ONE material is a genuine shield against abrasion. Breathable with the Parade shield design, it provides protection against wear and tear. Its fabric + TPU formulation meets abrasion-resistance requirements imposed by the EN388 glove standard (performance level 4/4). This highly-resistant material is on our S1P shoe in the RACING range: Ride and Racer.

XTRA SHIELD-ONE: our anti-abrasion & water-repellent shield

Our exclusive XTRA SHIELD ONE fabric meets abrasion-resistance requirements (up to 36,000 cycles) imposed by the EN388 glove standard (performance level 4/4). Water-repellent, it is ideal for working outdoors or in an environment with liquid sprays and projections.

STAY DRY: our waterproof-breathable WR membrane

Our waterproof and breathable membrane stays resistant to water penetration for 7 hours, 5 times longer than test standards require. Made of 70% polyester and 30% polyether, it is guaranteed PFAS-free.

FLEX SYSTEM

Read about our exclusive sole technologies, suitable for the most demanding work requirements. FLEX SYSTEM technology is suitable for construction work and uneven surfaces. The exclusive design of the sole with its grooves reduces the pressure areas on the sole, providing flexibility and comfort when walking. The shoe moves with the foot and the horizontal and notched grooves under the metatarsal bones, where the foot naturally bends, naturally expel soil as the foot moves forward.

BE FLEX 2.0

BE FLEX 2.0 technology is designed for work that requires more flexibility and comfort when walking, logistics for example. The raised side of the sole is lower on the front of the foot to facilitate flex. The front section has an exclusive design with 3 transverse grooves for movement and maximum flexibility for the front of the foot.

PARADE CONNECT: INTEGRATED PPE + LONE WORKER ALARM

PARADE CONNECT are safety shoes that have the WARYME LONE WORKER ALARM SYSTEM. The LONE WORKER ALARM SYSTEM is housed in the sole. If the person has a sudden and significant fall, the system sends out an alarm with a GPS location to predefined emergency contacts.

PULSE-ONE : DYNAMIC RESILIENCE WITH FLEXIBLE CUSHIONING

Pulse One technology is a unique design that combines dynamic resilience with flexible cushioning. It is built around 3 elements:

  • – An ergonomic sole. Its geometry offers improved cushioning in the heel and dynamic responsiveness in the forefoot.
  • – A tailor-made solution in the midsole. This new high-resilience material, developed with BASF and injected in our factory in France, supports the entire surface of the foot.
  • – A moulded and ergonomic laboratory-tested insole in high-resilience polyurethane. It helps the leg muscles save energy and provides comfort and stability.
