With regard to the term "lightness of the shoe", it was previously considered a given that it assumed the seasonality and the properties of the shoes for heat or cold protection. A "light safety shoe" then also fit into this frame, which was clearly identified as a summer shoe. However, with the introduction of new materials of the current generation, the term "lightweight safety shoe" can also take into account the specific weight of the respective shoe.

Continuous research and development in the field of technology is an important factor that contributes to the introduction of new generation materials, which in turn is a great advantage for the well-being of workers. Especially with regard to safety shoes, it is essential that they are equipped with all the necessary protective devices such as toe protection, penetration protection system, non-slip tread, etc., and provide protection and safety to workers. These many components, which ensure optimal protection, result in an increased load on the legs of the workers wearing PPE, who have to carry despite the relatively low weight of the shoes.

The Red Leve product line consists of 15 models of lightweight and safe footwear for summer and winter, for damp and dry environments. These have been designed to meet the ever-growing need for footwear that guarantees both protection and comfort. By reducing weight, people who need personal protective equipment have to use less force to move the foot, resulting in an overall benefit to the body, including less fatigue and swelling at the end of the day. Red Leve shoes are available in mid-high and high versions, in the protection classes S1P SRC ESD and S3 SRC CI ESD, for every season and every type of protection.

Thanks to modern technologies and the development of new advanced solutions, U-Power has managed to create lightweight, yet safe shoes in the Red Leve product line. The PU sole, the Save & Flex Air puncture-resistant system and the anatomical U-Power Original insole made of an innovative, lightweight polyurethane compound as well as the Airtoe® aluminium toe cap make it possible to significantly reduce the weight of the shoe without sacrificing safety.
