Safety shoes Uvex 85162 Unisex Adult Black Red Polyurethane Micro Velour

Uvex 1 x-tended support safety shoes combine protection and ergonomic design to reduce strain on the musculoskeletal system during work. Constructed from synthetic microvelour materials with a polyurethane outsole, these unisex shoes are breathable, lightweight and suitable for users with chrome allergies. The model is available in black with red accents and a range of sizes to fit different foot shapes.

Advantages

The shoes offer a lightweight S3 protection class construction with excellent slip resistance and ESD capability. A 100% metal-free toe cap provides anatomical protection without thermal conductivity, while a dual-density polyurethane outsole improves grip and durability. The design includes medial and lateral heel support to stabilise the ankle and a penetration-resistant non-metallic insert that preserves flexibility. Seam-free microvelour uppers and a climate-optimised lining increase comfort for extended wear.

Suitable for

• Industrial and construction work requiring S3 protection
• Workplaces with electrostatic discharge (ESD) requirements
• Tasks involving frequent walking or standing on slippery surfaces
• Environments where metal-free footwear is preferred or required

Use the shoes in compliance with workplace safety rules and ensure regular inspection of outsole wear, toe cap condition and insole integrity to maintain protective performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the microvelour upper clean and dry, replace insoles when cushioning decreases, and check the ESD properties periodically if used in electrostatic-sensitive environments.
