Product Overview
The Base Record Paddle Shoe is a sophisticated blend of athletic design and rigorous safety standards. Finished in a striking navy and yellow colourway, this low-profile safety shoe is part of the renowned Record range, designed for professionals who require agility without compromising on foot protection. It is a lightweight footwear solution that prioritises wearer comfort through advanced shock absorption and an orthopaedic-friendly design, ensuring that long shifts on hard floors do not lead to unnecessary fatigue.
Key Features
SRC Slip Resistance: The outsole is tested to the highest slip-resistance standards on both ceramic and steel surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slips and trips in unpredictable environments.
200 Joules Resistant Toe-Cap: This integrated safety feature provides a robust barrier against heavy falling objects and compression, ensuring your toes remain protected during hazardous tasks.
Puncture Resistant Sole: A built-in protective layer prevents sharp objects like nails or metal shards from piercing the sole, safeguarding the underside of your foot.
Shock Absorption: The heel region is engineered to absorb impact energy, which helps to protect your joints and reduce physical strain throughout the working day.
Metal-Free Construction: Designed without metal components, this shoe is ideal for workplaces with metal detectors, such as airports or high-security logistics hubs.
Anti-Static Properties: These shoes prevent the build-up of static electrical charges, protecting both the wearer and sensitive electronic equipment.
Design & Performance
Constructed as part of the Record collection, the Paddle Shoe focuses on a lightweight feel that mimics high-performance trainers. The use of modern materials ensures that the shoe remains flexible, allowing for a natural range of movement. The interior is designed to accommodate different foot shapes, offering both men’s and women’s widths. Furthermore, the outsole is resistant to hydrocarbons, ensuring the material does not degrade when in contact with oils or fuel, which maintains the integrity of the shoe's grip over time.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we specialise in branding, yet we do not offer customisation for the Base Paddle Shoe. Safety footwear is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) certified under UNI EN ISO 20345:2012. Altering the shoe through embroidery or heat-pressing could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the materials or interfere with the safety certifications. To ensure your protection remains at the highest level, we provide these shoes in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
The Paddle Shoe is perfectly suited for indoor environments where floor surfaces may be slippery or where there is a risk of falling objects. It is an excellent choice for warehouse operatives, logistics personnel, and light industrial workers. Because it is metal-free, it is also the preferred option for security staff and those working in environments with frequent security screenings.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for businesses across the UK. Based in Telford, we bring decades of expertise to the selection of high-quality PPE. We understand that workwear is not just a uniform; it is a vital tool for your daily performance. Our heritage ensures that every product we supply, like the Base Record range, meets the exacting standards required by modern tradespeople.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these shoes are designed to accommodate orthopaedic made-to-measure footbeds, complying with DGUV112-191 norms. This means there is ample space for comfort, but we recommend pairing them with high-quality work socks to ensure a secure fit and to aid moisture management. The low-shoe design provides excellent ankle mobility, making them ideal for tasks involving frequent crouching or climbing.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety standards of your Paddle Shoes, it is essential to keep the outsole free from debris. Dirt and grime build-up can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the SRC slip resistance, increasing the risk of accidents. We recommend wiping the exterior with a damp cloth and allowing them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleach, as these can degrade the hydrocarbons-resistant properties of the sole and weaken the upper fabric. If the shoes become wet, do not place them on a radiator, as rapid drying can cause the materials to become brittle. Regular inspection of the toe-cap and puncture-resistant sole is advised to ensure no damage has occurred that could compromise your safety.
