Wolverine launches new ‘Contour Welt’ work boot
Footwear manufacturer Wolverine has launched a new work boot, the Contour Welt, which it claims “will set new standards in comfort and flexibility for work footwear” through combining “unparalleled flexibility, comfort, and support with a never-before-seen design”.
Slip, oil and abrasion-resistant the boot is designed to deliver flexibility in the forefoot and support in the instep areas to offer “the flexibility of a sport shoe with the support of a traditional work boot”. It incorporates the company’s MultiShox Rubber Lug outsole, which is said to allow the individual compression pads in the heel and forefoot to absorb shock and return energy in each step, a contour-stitched arch to allow the boot to bend and flex at essential points, preventing shifting during motion, and a comfort gel insole for cushioning.
“Our objective in designing the Wolverine Contour Welt was to use state-of- the-art materials and construction techniques that would perform in the toughest conditions without sacrificing comfort,” said Mark Morgan, senior designer.
