The patented Shock Protection System (SPS) is a standard feature in all our dual density Polyurethane (PU), Polyurethane /Nitrile rubber and Thermo Urethane Polyurethane (TPU) soled footwear.The combination of SPS with Blundstone's unique dual density soling,has revolutionised comfort in footwear. SPS directly reduces workplace fatigue and orthopaedic problems in the lower back, legs and feet. Dynamic tests indicate an average reduction in shock transmitted to the leg of 33% at a brisk walking pace. Technical data sheets are available giving results from physical testing conducted by CSIRO Division of Chemicals & Polymers, computer (finite element) analysis conducted by Integra Tooling Systems Pty Ltd, static and dynamic testing by La Trobe University School of Human Biosciences and the National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics.Diagrams 1&2 are graphic representations based on data derived from computer (Finite Element) analysis conducted by Integra Tooling Systems Pty Ltd under the direction of the CSIRO Division of Chemicals & Polymers.
