Timberland PRO® Powertrain Collection Updates Classic Indoor Safety Shoes to Exceed On-the-Job Requirements

STRATHAM, N.H., Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As a leader in the work boot space, Timberland PRO extends its robust offerings to a new collection of industrial indoor safety shoes. The Timberland PRO^® Powertrain series includes five styles for men and three for women and are designed to transition seamlessly from work to home and everywhere in between. This athletic, lightweight silhouette boasts Timberland PRO's^® exclusive Anti-Fatigue Technology, which absorbs shock and increases energy, supporting those who work long hours on their feet. This feature combined with alloy safety toes and slip-resistant outsoles allows workers to be comfortable and protected on the job.

"We recognize there is a very diverse group of industrial professionals that require protective footwear on the job and a traditional work boot is not always the solution," said Bert Spiller, Director of Product Creation for Timberland PRO. "For those working indoors, specifically within warehouses, assembly lines, and factories, a lightweight, lower-profile shoe makes sense. The key benefit of our Timberland PRO^® Powertrain series is a new proprietary outsole with built-in Timberland PRO^® Anti-Fatigue Technology. The outsole can serve as an alternative to costly anti-fatigue mats, which sometimes result in trip-and-fall accidents on the job."  

The eight Timberland PRO^® Powertrain styles feature premium microfiber leather and rugged athletic breathable mesh and are offered in a variety of colors. Each style has an alloy safety toe, a fiberglass shank for structural support, cement construction for flexibility and reduced break-in time, and anti-microbial treatment for odor control and comfortable feet. Industrial professionals also have the option of choosing either EH or ESD styles. To review complete product information visit www.timberlandpro.com.

All Timberland PRO^® Powertrain styles are available in men's sizes 7-12, 13, 14, 15 M/W and women's sizes 5.5-10, 11 M/W. Timberland PRO also ensures customer satisfaction with a 30-Day Comfort Guarantee. If your Timberland PRO^® footwear is not more comfortable than other brands you have worn, return them within 30 days (with a dated receipt), and you'll be refunded the purchase price, no questions asked. The Timberland PRO^® Powertrain series is available now at www.timberlandpro.com and in Timberland PRO^® retail locations nationwide with an MSRP of $90 - $110.
