The new proposals of the maker from Callosa de Segura (Alicante - Spain) correspond to footwear of functional design and appealing casual aesthetics in the latest trend, which includes advanced components and the latest innovations developed by Panter regarding comfort and protection. We are facing polyvalent proposals compatible with multiple labor sectors, among them, industry, construction, cement companies, several installers, yourselfers, etc. The Panter Link collection is “the result of the constant commitment of the brand to offer edgy safety footwear, lightweight, flexible, breathable and durable, manufactured without harmful components and equipped with the basic benefits to provide the professionals not only protection but also all-around comfort”, Panter sources remark. Cutting-edge technical features Among the traits that distinguish Vernis and Cefiro Link models are noteworthy: -Manufacture free of metal components (among other benefits, allows using this footwear in energized areas or in presence of electric tools). -Made of natural split leather with waterproof treatment + ‘mesh’ fabric fiber of high tenacity and resistance to fraying. -Plastic toecap resistant to impacts up to 200 Joules (Maximum Certification). Lightweight, comfortable, ergonomic and electrically insulating. It provides a real barrier being an effective protector of blows on the fingers without imprisoning them. Thanks to its elastic memory, it retrieves the form after the impact. -Double density polyurethane (PU) outsole, very light and flexible, with efficient insulation of cold / heat and high resistance to contact with oils, hydrocarbons, etc. without any degradation. -Non-metallic, anti-perforating textile insole, extremely flexible and lightweight, which facilitates at all times the mobility and flexibility, conforming without rigidities to the natural shape of the foot. Manufactured with special fibers of extraordinary puncture resistance, it ensures protection against possible foot injuries caused by sharp objects. It incorporates an antibacterial treatment, whereby bacterial growth is avoided. -Anti-perforating steel insole (optional). The Panter Link collection is the result of the constant commitment of the brand to offer cutting-edge safety footwear, lightweight, flexible, breathable and durable New ergonomic shoelast Another embodiment of art applied to the Link series and all recent releases of Panter is its new patented ergonomic shoelast, developed under strict scientific and biomechanical criteria, fruit of the findings of the first functional study of safety footwear led by Panter in collaboration with the Inescop technological institute. Its integration in the safety footwear involves a reduction of plantar pressure, fatigue and muscle pain, decreased risk of injuries and improved thermal insulation, which increases comfort. Also, the new shoelast optimizes dynamic stability (optimized distribution of pressure), so the muscle wasting is smaller, and the possibility of developing lesions. “This innovation represents the reinvention and constantly evolving of Panter towards a new concept of footwear that not only ensures the integrity of the workers’ feet during working time, but also has a positive impact on their health, while offering them an experience of unparalleled comfort”, Panter argues. 55
