Banyan - RF311

Product description

Pioneering Sustainable Performance. Don't sacrifice comfort for protection. These extremely lightweight safety trainers are produced from a durable and breathable water repellent microfibre upper, made using bio-based oils as a replacement for fossil-fuel derived components keeping your feet protected and comfortable all day.

The lightweight fibreglass toecap and an exclusively crafted para-aramid anti-perforation protective midsole developed by Activ-Step® Footwear Components helps protect your feet.

The EVA+Rubber outsole formulation provides incredible rebound and energy return properties along with durability and increased slip resistance.

The RF311 Banyan incorporates ESD technology to channel static charges away from your body and safely to the ground.

This helps protect delicate electronic components you handle from potential damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharges.

The Banyan safety trainer pushes the boundaries of eco-conscious design, offering innovative features and comfort, alongside a focus on responsible materials.

Durable Upper: Constructed with a durable microfibre upper, using a combination of recycled and bio-based materials, reducing environmental impact compared to conventional materials.

Recycled Post Consumer Polyester Laces, Webbing and Mesh: Our recycled polyester supply chain is certified to the Global Recycled Standard.

Activ-Step® Bio-Based Footbed: Superior shock absorption properties, resulting in reduced fatigue to the wearer. Made from 73% natural rubber and 100% recycled post-consumer polyester sock liner, certified by the USDA BioPreferred® Programme.

Performance Sole: Contains a BLOOM® foam midsole, a bio-based alternative to standard midsole materials, reducing our reliance on fossil fuel-based plastics, coupled with a rubber outsole partly infused with the world's first regenerative outsole material, Solum Bio-Tread™. BLOOM® foam contains algae, which is harvested to help clean polluted waterways where the algae grow excessively, restoring degraded water habitats and therefore improving biodiversity and ecosystem health. It makes for a cushioned midsole which absorbs impact for all-day comfort, whether you're navigating hard floors or rough outdoor terrain, reducing fatigue to the wearer. Solum’s Bio-Tread™ materials are made from the same biological nutrients that give trees and plants their strength and resiliency. As you move around, Solum’s Bio-Tread™ slowly releases positive nutrients into the ecosystem, promoting healthy soils beneath your feet and beginning the cycle again. Here, we balance reducing our environmental impact whilst maintaining our industry’s durability needs. A truly pioneering advancement in the world of footwear outsoles.

Advanced Protection: A fibreglass protective toecap ensures safety without added weight and the exclusively crafted para-aramid anti-perforation protective midsole developed by Activ-Step® Footwear Components provides essential on-the-job safety, whilst minimising weight.

ESD Certified: Meets electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety standards.

We strive to continuously improve our materials and prioritise responsible sourcing practices.
