LEGEND are high, comfortable safety shoes from the Red Over line by U-Power. The Red Over line is specifically designed for operators who are "in the field saving lives, even in the most adverse conditions." They offer water-repellent, flexible, lightweight, breathable footwear suitable for any situation to ensure safety and comfort, with a focus on high visibility for maximum safety.
These shoes comply with the European standard EN ISO 20345:2022 and fall into the protection class S7S CI HI HRO FO SR . They are classified as Type "B" footwear .
- Upper : It is made of soft water-repellent full-grain leather .
- Water vapour permeability: 3.3 mg/(cm²·h) (standard requirement ≥ 0.8 mg/(cm²·h)).
- Permeability coefficient: 35.6 mg/cm² (standard requirement ≥ 15 mg/cm²).
- Water absorption after 60 minutes: Not specified, but meets requirements.
- Water transmitted after 60 minutes: Not specified, but meets requirements.
- Lining : Inside, the shoe is equipped with GORE-TEX Performance Membrane . The Gore-Tex membrane prevents water from penetrating the footwear, ensuring dry and protected feet, and is waterproof and breathable, allowing sweat to escape thanks to microscopic pores 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water.
- Water vapour permeability: 7.1 mg/(cm²·h) (standard requirement ≥ 2 mg/(cm²·h)).
- Permeability coefficient: 56.82 mg/cm² (standard requirement ≥ 20 mg/cm²).
- Dry abrasion resistance: 25,600 cycles (Meet).
- Wet abrasion resistance: 12,800 cycles (Meets).
- Toe cap : The protective toe cap is made of AirToe Aluminium , one of the U-Power technologies for footwear.
- Impact resistance (clear heights after impact): 16.0 mm (standard requirement ≥ 14 mm).
- Compressive strength (free heights after compression): 14.0 mm (standard requirement ≥ 14 mm).
- Anti-perforation : The shoe is equipped with a "no metal" Save & Flex PLUS® textile insole, also a U-Power footwear technology.
- Puncture resistance: ≥ 1100 N (Compliant).
- Insole : The insole is a WOW GEL , an insole technology from U-Power.
- Abrasion resistance: No damage after ≥ 400 cycles (Pass).
- Midsole : Made of soft expanded PU and Infinergy® . Infinergy® is a technology that returns energy with every step.
- Tread/Sole : The sole is made of PU/VIBRAM and Infinergy® . VIBRAM is among the U-Power footwear technologies. It has resistance properties up to +300° for contact (1 minute) , is oil-resistant, non-slip and antistatic .
- Abrasion resistance (volume loss): 84 mm³ (standard requirement ≤ 150 mm³).
- Bending strength: 1.5 mm (standard requirement ≤ 4 mm).
- Outsole/midsole detachment resistance: 3.6 N/mm (standard requirement ≥ 3 N/mm).
- Resistance to hydrocarbons (volume % change): 3% (standard requirement ≤ 12%).
- Heel energy absorption: 40 J (standard requirement ≥ 20 J).
- Slip Resistance (SR) : Slip tests show high values according to the EN 13287 method of the EN ISO 20345:2022 standard:
- On ceramic tile with NaLS (7° forward heel): 0.39 (standard requirement ≥ 0.31).
- On ceramic tile with NaLS (tip back 7°): 0.47 (standard requirement ≥ 0.36).
- On ceramic tile with glycerine (heel forward 7°): 0.34 (standard requirement ≥ 0.19).
- On ceramic tile with glycerin (7° back tip): Not specified separately in the U-Power values given for glycerin, but falls under the general SR certification.
- Anatomical Fit/Shape : The shoe adopts Natural Confort 11 Mondopoint technology, one of U-Power's footwear technologies.
- Available Sizes : The LEGEND is available in sizes 35 to 48. The weight of a size 42 shoe is 1,148 kg .
- Areas of Use : They are suitable for sectors such as the Iron and Steel Industry, Oil, Mining, Assembly (both in dry and humid environments), Chemicals and for cold environments.
- Additional Features :
- The footwear has an electrical resistance category of less than 10⁹ Ω , and it is possible to download an ESD (Electro Static Discharge) certificate .
- It is also Secosol certified.
The LEGEND from the Red Over line are the symbol of U-Power's commitment to providing safety footwear that makes no compromises, combining advanced materials and innovative technologies to offer protection and comfort in all conditions.
