1oTrimestre15 |PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 82 Updated products Future uniformity boots, Fal Seguridad surpassing proposal Fal, Calzados de Seguridad, has added to its catalogue of uniformity a model that the manufacturer describes as “revolutionary in both design and performance”, designed to police forces and law enforcement brigades. This new development is designed according to the EN-ISO 20347: 2012 standard, crediting the designation code O3 + SRC + HI + CI + HRO + WR + FO. Future is a boot made of microinjected polyurethane and a Cordura® patch. It fea- tures the Gore-Tex® waterproof and breath- able lining that, in addition to providing opti- mal thermal comfort, confers properties of resistance to penetration and absorption of water. The unique outsole of this model has got two densities, comprising an expanded polyurethane midsole, which provides light- ness and cushioning, and a rubber support Vibram® branded which provides excellent grip and traction on any terrain. It is a slip resistant outsole, while providing insulation against heat, contact heat and cold as well as being resistant to contact with greases and hydrocarbons. It also includes a non-metallic anti-perforation insole that combines strength with lightness, flexibility and comfort. Both elements besides lightening the footwear and avoiding the fatigue, are free of oxidation or allergies problems, they are more comfortable and even suitable for jobs where electrical hazards are common. The uniformity boot is available in the Future and Future Pro versions, which differ in the height of the shank, being identical in the other features. Fal Seguridad has created a specific infographic, available on its YouTube channel and on its own website, that shows the advanced features of this innovative footwear. Uniformity footwear and Updated Catalogue Fal features a specific line for law enforce- ment teams, including intervention boots, uniformity shoes, footwear for patrol activi- ties and rest as well as high-end boots for motorcyclists. It also includes female models with special lasts-shapes. This special footwear, suitable for any security forces, is distinguished by its technical requirements: oil resistant outsoles (they do not deteriorate when in contact with petrol). They are also very lightweight outsoles that adapt to any terrain while offering great slip resistance. L a t e l y , t h e firm from Arnedo (La Rioja - Spain) under- took a deep renovation of its general catalogue. Along with the revamped design of most models, new products lines have been incorporated into the new catalogue, among them we high- light: ·Evo Line This development consists of several mod- els of safety shoes with competitive prices and with the particularity that incorpo- rate non-metallic toecaps –capable of with- standing an impact of up to 200 joules, and anti-perforation non metal insoles - combining strength with lightness and flexibility, and comfort with protection. In addition, the new line Evo will be manu- factured entirely in the facilities which Fal Seguridad has in Arnedo (La Rioja), so it will be genuine “made in Spain”, with the advantages of service and quality that it involves. The Evo line offers different options to industry, such as: boots and shoe in black leather, corded, with non-metallic toecap and insole (Ebro and Tajo models) and a shoe with laces, in gray perforated suede, with non-metallic toecap and insole (Sella model), which will also offer the option of purchasing without anti-perforation insole. Also completing the line there will be two black leather boots, one with Velcro and the other one with quick release buck- le, with toecap and insole free of metal (Segura and Tormes models). Furthermore, the new line Evo will also provide models for the food sector. To this end, two separated shoes are incorpo- rated, in white and black colour, without laces, in microfiber, thus ensuring easy machine washing-, with Vincap toecap (Levante model), as well as a boot (black or white), with Velcro also in microfiber and featuring a Vincap toecap (Poniente model). Finally, a model in suede and Cordura is also incorpo- rated; it has non-metallic toecap and insole distinguishing itself by a sportier look (Arga model). All models feature dual density polyurethane outsoles which meet all require- ments of current standards, including slip resistance, so that they meet the require- ments in both tile and steel (SRC). These outsoles confer to shoes great comfort, ergonomics and lightness, added values that help workers of food processing indus- try to find highly comfortable footwear, even if their work requires spending many hours standing. The two layers of the out- sole, a compact one with pronounced pro- file to increase the grip and the drainage of the boot, and another of polyurethane foam that enhances the comfort of the users’ feet, avoid the muscular fatigue and vibration, besides absorbing energy in the heel to prevent micro-injuries to the joints and muscle injure. Additionally, all models in the line feature antistatic properties, and the vast majority are metal-free since they are designed for people who spend long hours working with electrical appliances. Future, an innovative item, is made of micro-injected polyurethane, featuring the Vibram® outsole and an anti- perforating textile insole 61
