The first laboratory test analysed Cushioning and demonstrates the ability of the D3O® insert in the shoe midsole to reduce peaks in impact forces on the heel, ankle bone and tibia and on the whole leg during an impact.

• The D3O® insert is a dynamic protection, comprising a combination of polymers and cutting-edge technology, which has already been successfully used in highly-effective protection components for the motorcycle, military, and safety equipment sectors!
• D3O® is SOFT and FLEXIBLE ensuring comfort and long-lasting performance whatever the use. It absorbs and dissipates energy, even when heavily stressed, offering more advanced impact protection than protection provided by other "standard foams".

The Cushioning test analysed the ability to reduce load peaks on the heel:

• while walking;
• while descending a ramp or ladder;
• or when lifting weights.

At each step we take, our heel strikes a surface, and we receive an upwards force which can reach quite high values!!

• The in-vivo test was able to evaluate the dynamic performance of the "Resolute" safety shoe. It showed the beneficial effects on the biomechanics of the foot, and reduced load peaks transmitted to the joints, as demonstrated by the university data;
• The greater energy absorption of the Resolute shoe with D3O® appears to be a good 300 Newtons!! Over 30% more than other shoes.

Cushioning + 30%!

The second factor analysed in the laboratory was the durability of the D3O® insert over time and the dimensional stability and performance of the sole and all its parts.

We stressed the heel area by simulating 8 hours of work for 224 working days with an applied force of 120 kg.

The results show that the stiffness and energy absorption properties of the shoe when new remain unchanged over time and that none of these initial characteristics are lost. This ensures that the quality and the benefit to the user's foot remains unchanged day after day.

Resolute System Technology with the D3O® insert doesn’t deform, and the performance remains the same for the entire lifetime of the shoe.

Day after day Resolute footwear doesn’t deform and its original mechanical and biomechanical properties remain unchanged, meaning less risk of microtraumas or foot injuries.

Durability 100%!

In the last test, the STABILITY of the Resolute System Technology shoe was in-vivo tested on both longitudinal and lateral planes during the foot strike and push off phases. When we walk, lateral and transversal oscillations can be generated, both during initial foot strike and the final push off phase.

Quando camminiamo, si possono generare delle oscillazioni laterali e trasversali, sia nella fase di primo appoggio che di spinta finale.

By combining the technologies:

• Protected by D3O;
• DynamicHCcontrol;
• and StabilActive;

dynamic stability is achieved to perfection!

The three technologies combined in the Sixton Peak Resolute footwear:

• ensure protection and comfort during all natural movements of the foot;
• and offer maximum protection to those areas of the foot that receive the most stress, such as the heel, ankle and forefoot!

Using a Motion Capture infrared system, the kinematics of the lower limbs was assessed, by detecting the ankle’s axis angle with respect to vertical during the various test phases.

In particular, the angle of foot inversion and eversion of the Resolute System Technology footwear ensures excellent dynamic stability during foot strike.

Resolute ensures maximum postural control, and maximum dynamic stability!

The statistical analysis of the data highlights:

• a more gradual energy absorption during the various phases of the gait cycle and the dynamic stabilization of the ankle and the limbs in all the tests.
• a reduced risk of foot eversion and inversion;
• greater symmetry of plantar loads and balance when the body’s centre of gravity shifts.

Resolute System Technology Footwear responds anytime and anywhere with maximum stability ... up to 50% more!!

Stability +50%!!
