Velar - RF1020

Product description

The Heritage Safety High Top. The RF1020 Velar is where an iconic style meets industrial strength. Our new safety high top trainer takes the legendary comfort and unmistakable look of a classic high-top jogger and blends those seamlessly with essential safety features. With unmistakeable ankle cushioning and engineered on a true women's last for a more slender, secure and comfortable fit, this shoe eliminates the bulk of traditional safety footwear. Get full-shift comfort, maximum stability and the safety protection you need—all in one stylish package. Beneath the clean lines of its full leather upper, lies some serious protection: a lightweight fibreglass safety toe cap protects your feet from dropped tools and equipment. Beneath the foot, a flexible penetration-resistant insert defends against sharp underfoot hazards, giving confidence on unpredictable surfaces. Underfoot comfort is built for endurance: a shock-absorbing comfort footbed reduces fatigue and pressure during long hours on hard floors. Underfoot, a slip-resistant nitrile rubber outsole shrugs off oil, fuel and abrasion over long wear. It carries Solum's Verdura™, a bio-based additive that partially replaces fossil-based chemistry. A timeless classic look, tough enough for the job, sharp enough for the weekend—this is safety footwear built for today.
