Professional and safety footwear
The selection of personal protective equipment is a strategic decision on which people's safety depends. U-POWER sees itself as a safety partner that focuses on the needs of its customers. State-of-the-art project and technology solutions, careful material selection, and direct control of the entire manufacturing chain guarantee products that meet the highest technical and quality standards.
Wingtex ® technology
The revolutionary inner lining with ventilation channels ensures very high breathability. The specially developed microfiber keeps the foot dry and comfortable.
Stressout ® system
An innovative tongue ensures comfortable walking and prevents pressure on the instep. Two different layers of padding are incorporated into the tongue and guarantee a pleasant feeling of comfort on the foot thanks to the innovative anatomical arrangement.
INFINERGY ®
Research and innovation are the driving force behind U-POWER's development of high-performance products. Infinergy® from BASF was used for the Red Lion series. BASF has succeeded in combining closed-cell particle foams with thermoplastic polyurethane through technical excellence. The first E-TPU (expanded thermoplastic polyurethane) combines lightness and flexibility in a single product. BASF's Infinergy® technology guarantees:
- high elasticity
- high resistance
- f lexibility and lightness
- low density
- high tensile strength
- abrasion resistance
- outstanding resilience
- resistance to thermal fluctuations (from -20°C to +40°C)
- 55 % higher rebound coefficient
Infinergy ® returns energy
Traditional cushioning has been developed into soft, dynamic cushioning that returns positive energy. The energy generated when the foot strikes the ground is absorbed, directly rebounded, and thus supports walking. The efficient Infinergy® cushioning absorbs energy much better than a traditional sole, guaranteeing lightness, freedom of movement, anti-fatigue, and a reduction in muscle and joint disorders. A gel insert has been combined in the forefoot area for optimal cushioning and fit in the Red Lion.

Infinergy ®guarantees maximum comfort and responsiveness
Infinergy ® provides natural flexibility across the entire footbed—from heel to forefoot. Thanks to its structure, the lightweight, flexible outsole adapts to any surface while ensuring maximum stability. A combination of select upper materials and very supple fabrics such as breathable textile fibers and natural leather cradle the feet in absolute comfort.

Airtoe
AirToe is the innovative toe cap that lets the foot breathe and protects the toes from bruises and impacts. AirToe meets the most stringent safety standards and ensures the safety of employees. The choice of material from which the toe cap is made is crucial. The AirToe safety toe cap is available in three different material variants to meet different application requirements: aluminum (approx. 54 g), composite (approx. 50 g), and steel (approx. 93 g).
Save & Flex Plus
The exclusive penetration-resistant metal-free insole is lighter than traditional steel, more flexible, and safer. It is connected directly to the upper and guarantees 100% penetration protection. U-POWER uses only the high-quality, puncture-resistant “Save & Flex” Plus insole for all its products, which has a pressure load far higher than required by the current standard.
RED STRATOS
With RED STRATOS, every step is lighter and more dynamic: a shoe that supports movement and multiplies energy. At the heart of the collection is the sole featuring Super Critical Technology—a next-generation foam designed to provide maximum comfort and energy return with every step. The result is natural, continuous propulsion—a dynamic burst of energy that accompanies the foot’s movement, reduces fatigue, and enhances comfort all day long.
RED 360
RED 360 stands for innovative technology in concentrated form – developed for maximum safety and comfort in everyday work.

U-POWER ORIGINAL
U-POWER has managed to reduce the weight of the U-POWER Original insole while maintaining its comfort and foot health properties. The new polyurethane compound ensures long-lasting well-being, lightness, and comfort thanks to its excellent anatomical, antibacterial, and self-modeling propertie.
WOW2
The WOW2 insole consists of two elements: firstly, an anatomically shaped structure made of Elastopan with good viscoelastic properties, which distributes body weight evenly across the foot. Secondly, an insert made of an Elastopan blend with anti-fatigue properties, which is able to absorb and reduce physical stress (such as prolonged standing).
The result is immediate comfort when wearing the shoe and reduced fatigue
