Our new nail-resistant insoles have been created using a series of fabrics containing high-tenacity yarns.  After plasma treatment, rendering the fibers more porous
and hydrophilic, the various layers undergo ceramic treatment. Plasma treatment improves attachment and compactness of the ceramic particles, which provide a
higher degree of hardness, and mechanical, physical and chemical resistance. Safety does not only mean penetration resistance: Safety footwear, used throughout
long hours every working day, is safer when it is more comfortable and fits the foot efficiently. Footwear created with non-metallic anti-perforation insoles, being soft
and extremely flexible, permits increased contact with ground surfaces, reducing the risk of accidental slippage. Also, our insoles have isolation properties against
heat and cold, they increase foot sensitivity even under extreme atmospheric conditions. Studies carried out have analysed the advantages of using these
non-metallic insoles. Numerous tests and practical trails were carried out on three pairs of footwear, identical in style, but one pair having a normal non-protective
insole, one an insole in steel plate and our non-metallic insole. Not only did our non-metallic insoles prove more ergonomic than the steel plate insoles, as was to be
expected, but they also proved to be more efficiently comfortable than the normal non-protective pair. Alongside 100% protection of the sole of the foot and easy
workability, these characteristics of footwear created with insoles provide increased reduction in the risk of slippage and falling, and therefore increased safety in
comparison with metal insoles.
