Designed for people on their feet all day

We’re a leading shoe manufacturer set out to increase health and wellbeing for people on their feet all day and reduce pain for these people. Did you know that 90% of workers that spend the majority of the working day on their feet have experienced pain in the last 12 months as a result of their work? Being on your feet all day has a huge impact on the body and leads to a real problem in health and wellbeing, particularly musculoskeletal disorders (technical word for pain). This affects many frontline workers like porters, cleaners, chefs, nursing staff etc, who accept this pain as part of their job. Our research shows that a lot of these people spend at least 87% of their time on their feet - that's significant.

What Do We Measure?

Salford University

Our partnership with Salford Uni, a leading research centre in biomechanics, provides us with serious insight into the impact of pain at work and how we can make changes in our material, ergonomics and features for all-day long comfort.

Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the forces and motion of the human body and the impact of external and internal factors. It helps us to understand the demands working life puts on the body, find risk factors for injury and understand what external factors, like shoes, can have on the body.

The Findings

WearerTech's Head of Research, Jenny Anderson discusses one of the most surprising findings when analysing pain & discomfort across Chefs & other demanding Hospitality roles

How The Shoes Are Recycled?

Recycling shoes isn't a straightforward process. The number of materials that are used in the design of the shoe can make it a little complicated. That's why we had to find a recycling system that could manage a product with a range of different materials.,

Our recycling scheme uses an unique process which breaks down the material, separates them and them grounds them down into very fine particles ready to be used again.

UltraGrip®: Our very own slip resistant technology

We’ve created our own compound recipe and coupled it with patented slip-resistant technology. This has been developed with slip-resistant experts and well renowned tyre manufacturers to ensure that we protect you at an optimum level.

1. Large channels allow fast dispersion of fluids and particles

2. Different depths within the tread pattern provide resistance to sliding on different surfaces and in different situations.

3. The heel strike at the back of the shoe is angled at 7 degrees meaning that as wearers put their foot down, slip resistance is introduced instantly at the first point of contact.
