DuraShocks
Wolverine has remained atop the work boot industry because of their attention to advancing new technologies. While it may not seem like the coolest technology, and not the kind of thing you would brag to your firiends about, the best technologies are the ones that provides the most advanced cushioning and protection from over-compression because these are the technologies that keep you working longer and more effectively while lowering physical fatigue. This means more earnings for the work you do and a more fulfilling work and home life. In the 21st centry, Wolverine has introduced several comfort technologies including: the DuraShocks insole, the Compressor footbed, the Multishox technology, the PEAK antigravity system, the iCS adjustable cushion system (Stands for Individual Comfort System), as wells as others. However, the most well known of a Wolverine's technologies and the most prolifically employed compression technology is the DuraShocks insole which is specifically designed to improve cushioning while reducing compression and returning much of the compression energy back as forward motion. The DuraShocks insole works because it has been fused with two customizable compression pads. One pad is under the ball of the foot and one is under the heel. They not only dissipate compression, but then provide a spring like return that helps to redirect energy applied in the downward motion back upward as you step, making walking feel far less laborious. These definitely help you work more efficiently and with less physical burden.
You can often find the DuraShocks insoles combined with other compression technologies to further enhance the effect. By way of example, another key Wolverine compression technology is the Compressor footbed. The Compressor footbed employs an air filled compression chamber under the ball of the foot designed to further dissipate downward forces preventing that force from causing compression of the knees and other joints where compression naturally compounds if not properly dissipated. The Compression footbed has been shown to absorb up to 50% more shock than other boots and yet it still returns 30% more energy with each step. Combine these percentages with the absorption and return of the DuraShocks insole and you have an unparalleled work boot.
Wolverine has recently advanced upon the tradition DuraShocks insole with the new Wolverine DuraShocks 3D insole. You can read about how they differ by following the link.
