The safety shoe Icarus, manufactured by U-Power, combines advanced safety features with high-quality materials for optimal protection and comfort at the workplace. This half-shoe of class S1P and RED PREMIUM series is available in gray and covers sizes from 35 to 48. It features an aluminum toe cap and a metal-free penetration protection made of textile fibers, making it exceptionally lightweight – the weight is only 650 g for size 42.
The upper material is made of breathable nylon and microfiber in suede look, complemented by a robust polyurethane toe protection. The soft inner lining made of white calf leather provides additional wearing comfort. The PU outsole offers excellent slip resistance (SRC) and is oil-resistant, antistatic, and shock-absorbing thanks to the PU midsole. The shoe has a lace-up closure that allows for a custom fit and further increases wearing comfort.
In summary, the Icarus safety shoe from U-Power offers a reliable solution for various work environments by combining safety with comfort and style.
Shoes have been tested in accordance with the specifications of DIN EN 61340. They generally have a volume resistance of 7.5 x 10^5 to 3.5 x 10^7 ohms.
Safety class S1P
Shoes with a protective toe cap made of aluminum, plastic or steel. They are slip-resistant, antistatic and have energy absorption capacity in the heel area. They also have a puncture-resistant steel midsole and a closed heel area. A fuel-resistant sole is also possible.
Aluminum toe cap
Aluminum toe caps are approx. 40 % lighter than steel caps, but do not rust. They have very high stability and durability and are recyclable.
Slip resistance SRC
The shoe is slip-resistant both on ceramic tiles with NaLS (sodium sulphate solution) and on steel floors with glycerine.
Penetration protection/midsole metal-free
The penetration protection protects the foot from nails and other sharp objects. Metal-free penetration protection made of textile fabric is lighter and more flexible and covers the entire surface of the foot. However, very sharp objects can penetrate it.
Overcap
The toe cap is usually made of plastic material (e.g. PU or TPU) and is firmly attached to the shoe. It protects the front area of a work shoe from premature wear and thus extends the service life of the safety shoe.
BASF Infinergy®
Elastic like rubber, but resiliently light. The world's first expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU). Combines the properties of TPU with the advantages of foams. Infinergy® has a low density, is extremely elastic and abrasion-resistant and has very good resilience. Infinergy® also has a permanent load-bearing capacity in a wide temperature range (-20 to over +40°C).
Save and Flex plus
The exclusive puncture-resistant "no metal" insole is lighter than traditional steel, more flexible and safer. It is connected directly to the shaft and guarantees 100% penetration resistance.
U-POWER uses only the high-quality, puncture-resistant "Save & Flex" PLUS insole for all of its own products, the pressure load of which is far higher than required by the current standard.
