Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
We designed the Essence Mid with professionals like you in mind. The slightly wider fit accommodates different foot shapes without sacrificing the stability needed for long shifts. The combination of premium leather and reinforced nylon means your shoes will handle tough conditions whilst remaining flexible and responsive. The open-cell foam insole keeps feet fresh by managing moisture effectively, and the integrated arch support reduces fatigue when you're on your feet all day. If you work in environments with electrical hazards or sensitivity concerns, the ESD technology gives you peace of mind. The metal-free safety features make these ideal for facilities with strict metal detection protocols, whilst still providing robust head and puncture protection you'd expect from a serious work shoe.
