STRATHAM, N.H., July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timberland PRO®
Renova™ series is in full bloom this summer, offering new work shoe
options for nursing professionals that are both comfortable and
stylish. While it's no secret the majority of a nurse's day is
spent on his or her feet, the brand's recent "Always on My Toes"
survey revealed that 54 percent of nurses have worked 16 hours or
more in one shift – that's double the length of a typical work day!
Because of this, it's important for nurses to have the proper
footwear to support their body when long shifts are part of the
daily routine, not to mention, protect against slippery situations
in hospitals, where linoleum floors are ubiquitous.
This season, the brand is expanding its Renova™ series, so every
nurse can look and feel their best when they're on the job. The
most popular shoe in the series – the "Professional" – is now
available in sleek, crocodile emboss designs that boast matte or
metallic shades, and a new t-strap style, both of which are easy to
put on. Features include:
- Timberland PRO® Anti-Fatigue Technology offers all-day standing
support, foot and leg support and superior shock absorption
- Premium full-grade leathers and micro suede upper linings offer
style and durability
- Heel-to-toe rocker sole reduces forefoot pressure
- 3M® Scotchgard™ protector provides stain resistance
- SafeGrip™ slip-resistant outsole grips in wet and dry
conditions, enabling professionals to move quickly and
confidently
- Bi-Fit® Tri-density footbed for maximum support
- Anatomically shaped, oblique toe box allows forefoot to spread,
reducing fatigue
"We incorporate Anti-Fatigue Technology within the Renova™
series to help alleviate stress on the feet, while the heel-to-toe
rocker sole lessens the impact of heel strike," said Jim O'Connor,
senior director of product and marketing for Timberland PRO.
"Pair these features with slip-resistant outsoles and we have
the ultimate footwear option for nursing professionals, so they can
stay focused on their job and not on their aching feet."
Other styles within the Timberland PRO® Renova™ series include
the "Caregiver," now available in both blue mosaic and pink flower
prints. Since the "Always on My Toes" survey additionally noted 92
percent of nurses think style is important when it comes to their
nursing shoes, the Caregiver allows workers to give scrubs the
ultimate accessory, packaged in a comfortable and reliable
shoe.
The Timberland PRO® Renova™ series is ideal for any nursing
professional and with a variety of styles and patterns, there's an
option for every need and personal taste (MSRP ranges from
$60 - $110). To view, purchase or
