Steps taken to improve protection and comfort
April 1st 2004

Prospectas safety footwear styles have been upgraded to offer increased levels of protection and improved comfort and appearance.

All styles now have a higher technical specification, yet maintain the quality derived from full-grain leather uppers.

A new flexi-sole system is featured on all Goodyear welted styles giving the wearer improved forefoot flexibility and providing ease of movement.

The companys safety hiker style, Diesel, has been upgraded to EN345/S1/P and has steel midplate and anti-static as standard. Other features include steel toe cap to 200 joules, shock absorbing heel to 20 joules, Nitrile rubber sole that is heat resistant to 300C and resistant to oil, petrol, acid and alkali. It also has a scuff resistant toe and is skid resistant to EN345 standard.

Union and Shire EN345/S1/P now have steel midplate for penetration resistance and are anti-static as standard.
