Puma 640017 – Iconic Black/White

The Puma Safety 640017 Iconic Black/White is a standout in Puma’s Heritage range, merging classic vintage style with cutting-edge workplace protection. Drawing inspiration from Puma’s beloved basketball and retro sneaker designs, this safety shoe brings timeless fashion into the workplace. It proves that you don’t need to sacrifice style for safety, making it a top choice for professionals who want function, comfort, and iconic looks all in one.

Part of the Puma Safety Heritage range, the Iconic Black/White incorporates innovative technologies designed to protect and support your feet during long shifts. Central to this is Puma’s idCELL shock absorption element, integrated into both the heel and forefoot. This advanced cushioning system absorbs impact with every step, helping to reduce stress on your feet, ankles, and joints. Paired with Evercushion® RELIEF insoles, the shoe provides durable cushioning and optimal pressure relief, keeping feet comfortable during extended periods on hard surfaces. Whether you’re walking, bending, or standing, this combination ensures energy return and all-day support.

Protection is a key focus of the Iconic Black/White. It features a lightweight fibreglass toe cap, rated for 200 joules of impact, offering reliable protection against dropped objects or accidental bumps. The shoe is anti-static and ESD-rated, controlling electrostatic discharge—a crucial feature for workplaces dealing with electronics or flammable materials. Additionally, it is metal-free, making it suitable for environments with strict safety requirements and providing peace of mind for workers who need both protection and flexibility.

The upper of the shoe is crafted from premium suede leather, which combines durability with a stylish, classic look. This is complemented by Puma’s BreathActive functional lining, which ensures excellent moisture control. By keeping feet cool and dry, the lining prevents irritation and enhances comfort during long, demanding shifts, making the Iconic Black/White a practical choice for active professionals.

The sole is engineered for maximum safety and performance. Made from 300°C heat-resistant rubber with a herringbone pattern and rotation point, it is SRC-rated for slip resistance, oil-resistant, and non-marking. This design provides superior traction across a variety of surfaces, from smooth indoor floors to outdoor areas, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls. The sole also supports natural movement and flexibility, keeping your feet stable while you move around, even on uneven surfaces.

Cushioning is enhanced by the Evercushion® RELIEF insole, which works in harmony with the idCELL technology to deliver customised pressure relief and long-lasting comfort. Together, they reduce fatigue and protect joints, ensuring you can stay on your feet longer with less strain. Whether you’re lifting, walking, or standing for extended periods, this combination makes workdays significantly more comfortable.

The Iconic Black/White is available in a wide range of sizes, making it suitable for both men and women. Men’s sizes are UK/AU 7–14 (Euro 41–49, US 8–15), while women’s sizes are US 5–8.5 (Euro 36–40, UK/AU 3–6.5), ensuring a comfortable fit for most workers. These shoes are also certified to Australian Standards AS 2210.3:2019, confirming that they meet rigorous workplace safety requirements and are suitable for professional environments.

In summary, the Puma Safety 640017 Iconic Black/White is a perfect blend of heritage style, modern safety, and all-day comfort. From the lightweight fibreglass toe cap and ESD-safe design to the idCELL shock absorber and Evercushion® RELIEF insole, every detail has been engineered with the wearer in mind. Add in the premium suede leather upper and slip-resistant, heat-resistant rubber sole, and you have a safety shoe that is stylish, protective, and supremely comfortable. For professionals who want to look good, stay safe, and feel supported, the Iconic Black/White is a reliable and stylish choice for any workplace.
