Footwear maker Wolverine will introduce its latest advancement in safety work footwear components, the Wolverine CarbonX Advanced Safety-Toe, at the World Shoe Association show, August 1-4, 2006.
Offering the same ultimate protection as a traditional steel-toe, but at half the weight, Wolverine's CarbonX Advanced Safety-Toe will be available in hiker, six and eight-inch work boot styles.
Utilizing the advanced carbon-fiber technology, Wolverine CarbonX styles are non-conductive to electricity and resist extreme cold and heat, thus creating safe, comfortable work footwear. The non-metallic carbon fiber weave and lacing components allows easy passage through high security areas.
The Wolverine CarbonX Advanced Safety-Toe styles exceed ASTM F2413-05 I/75 C/75 standards. Stability is ensured with the help of a Wolverine Rubber Lug outsole while extra room in the toe-cap allows for a comfortable workday.
"With the light weight and strength of the carbon fiber safety-toe, Wolverine CarbonX styles will give workers the ultimate safety-toe protection," said Tim Bushell, vice president and general manager of the Wolverine Footwear Group.
The men's Wolverine CarbonX Advanced Safety-Toe work styles will be available at retailers nationwide beginning in February 2007.
The Wolverine brand is part of the Wolverine Footwear Group, a division of Wolverine World Wide Inc, manufacturers and marketers of branded and licensed footwear and performance leathers. It offers a wide range of footwear, apparel and gear in the work, outdoor sport and rugged casual categories.
