Sperian expands Bac'Run safety footwear range

A Sperian Protection product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jul 3, 2008

Bac'Run range of safety footwear from Sperian Protection is expanding with the introduction of 11 new models.

Combining modern design with improved performance in terms of lightness, safety and comfort, the new Bac'Run Free shoes will further reinforce the leadership and success of this collection of safety footwear that has been widely adopted across Europe.

The new products in the Bac'Run Free collection build on the elements that have secured the success of the Bac'Run range: the dual density polyurethane (PU 2D) outsole with excellent grip and shock absorption and the SpaciumTM non-metallic toe cap that resists to 200 joules, insulates against heat and cold.

In addition, Bac'Run Free safety shoes offer 100% non-metallic protection: they feature the FlexiumTM anti-perforation mid-sole made from high-tenacity textile fibers to provide greater flexibility and suppleness for users as they move.

In addition, thanks to a new polyurethane formula and a new injection process, it has been possible to reduce the weight of the outsole and shoe by more than 20% therefore preventing user fatigue brought about by frequent movement and prolonged standing.

Moreover, the slip resistance properties of the Bac'Run Free outsole are compliant with the requirements of the new standard EN ISO 20345: 2007 SRC.

The Bac'Run Free collection does not stop at merely offering the best in protective materials.

The footwear research and development teams at Sperian Protection have given special attention to the design of the shoes and the selection of leathers and linings.

The characteristics of the leathers (water-repellent or suede) were studied according to the specific requirements of each of the different European markets so as to best meet user needs.

The inner linings are made from Poromax and are in fennel green or bright orange to bring a touch of modern design to the shoes.

With quick dry technology they guarantee better foot hygiene for the user as well as an extended life cycle.
