Safety Standards

• SRC: Slip Resistant with Oil on Metal, and with Water on Tiles

  Benefit: Provides sufficient slip resistance to prevent a fall when working on a low friction surface such as oil spilled on metal, or on soapy wet tiles. This is the highest level of slip resistance.

  What is it: Australian Standards 2210.3:2019 Additional Classification. Glycerol (oil) on steel floor test. Slip resistance coefficient only heel contact is > 0.13, and slip resistance coefficient with whole shoe flat contact is > 0.18. SLS (soapy water) solution on ceramic tile test. Slip resistance coefficient only heel contact is > 0.28, and slip resistance coefficient with whole shoe flat contact is > 0.32. Slip Resistant with Oil on Metal, and with Water on Tiles.

  Where is it: Outsole

Outsole

• DIAMOND GRIP®

  Benefit: Achieves the highest slip resistance rating (water on tile and oil on metal).

  What is it: Trilateral grip tread pattern, incorporating deep channels to maximise surface contact in slippery conditions.

  Where is it: On the bottom of the shoe where it contacts the ground.

Cushioning

• POLIMAX®

  Benefit: Cushions and protects the area directly underneath the foot. Assists in keeping the foot cool, and controlling sweat. Anti-bacterial, controlling odor.

  What is it: Open cell soft urethane foam.

  Where is it: Used in insoles or directly underneath the insole (inside the shoe), and is full length from toe to heel.

Stability

• Encapsulated Dual Density

  Benefit: Achieves the perfect balance of soft cushioning and firm support in a lightweight and slimline midsole.

  What is it: Moulded EVA that is soft in the middle for a plush feeling underfoot. This is encapsulated in a very firm outer layer that wraps up the side of the upper, ensuring the foot does not move around excessively inside the shoe.

  Where is it: Full length midsole. The firm layer curves under the medial arch for additional support.

• ExoFrame

  Benefit: Supports the ankle and holds the heel firmly in place, providing excellent stability when the foot first strikes the ground. A firm heel counter is essential for fundamental support and stability.

  What is it: Rigid plastic material that is shaped to match the contours of your heel.

  Where is it: Inside the upper part of the shoe, surrounding the back and sides of the heel.

Upper

• DRILEX® Lining

  Benefit: Wicks sweat away from the foot, and its anti-bacterial properties control odour inside the shoe.

  What is it: Specially treated textile lining (patented technology by DRILEX).

  Where is it: Inside the upper of the shoe. The lining is the part of the upper that is closest to the foot.

• Free Fit Lacing™

  Benefit: Adjustability of fit around the forefoot for a perfect custom fit.

  What is it: A floating eyeletstay (lacing area) construction that is not directly stitched to the vamp.

  Where is it: On the upper of the shoe, in the forefoot near the first hole where the shoelaces begin.
