SafetySam Unveils WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot
Born from Craftsmanship, Built for the Field
Known as 'Generally Resistant Enough To Anything', the Greta boot is a rugged innovation designed for industrial professionals who rely on their footwear every day. The new product launch demonstrates the blend of traditional leather craftsmanship with cutting-edge safety performance.

After the success of its sneaker-style WORKSafe Starfire, SafetySam sought to create something more timeless. Inspired by classic leather boots and the designer's own appreciation for Goodyear-welted construction, Greta was developed to meet a clear gap in the Singapore market: a durable, stylish, and functional safety boot that doesn't compromise in wet or high-intensity work environments.
'Cemented and injection-moulded soles just don't cut it in our humid climate,' said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. 'We needed a boot that wouldn't split, would age well, and still meet the demands of modern workers.'
What Sets Greta Apart
Greta is certified to EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 and SS513:2005. It has been field-tested and endorsed by workers across construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The new product launch introduces a range of features to deliver protection, performance, and durability.
Goodyear-Welted Construction for water resistance and long-lasting durability (WR).
Natural Latex Outsole with superior grip and hot contact resistance (HRO).
Free Lacing System for quick on-and-off without sacrificing style.
Metatarsal Impact Gel Guard (M) to shield the top of the foot.
Penetration-Resistant Sole (PS) that's non-metallic yet highly protective.
Antistatic Protection (A) to guard against electrostatic discharge.
Energy Absorption Heel (E) and PU/PE insole for fatigue-free comfort over long shifts.
HBR lining is a waterproof, breathable membrane that contributes to the overall shoe achieving S7S compliance.
Who Is Greta For?
The new product launch targets the following groups:
Construction and Civil Engineering – where falling objects and heavy impacts are daily risks.
Oil and Gas / Marine – where exposure to fluids, heat, and slippery surfaces is constant.
Heavy Manufacturing – where hot metals, debris, and rough terrain challenge every step.
Logistics and Warehousing – where long hours on concrete demand both comfort and support.
The Story Behind the Boot: Greta and the Wild West
As with all great WORKSafe products, Greta is brought to life through SafetySam's original comic series. This time, Sam is thrust into a Wild West multiverse—a tribute to the rugged origins of leather boots. There, he combines old-world techniques with modern safety innovations, mirroring the real-world development process behind Greta.
'The Wild West aesthetic captures the spirit of Greta—gritty, independent, and ready for anything,' as revealed by Crystal Heng, Marketing Manager at PDS International. 'It's a fun, narrative-driven way to express the soul of the product.'
The comic not only reflects the journey of a boot but also conveys a belief: workwear can be both legendary and practical.
Authentic Launch, Real Connections
The product launch is in line with SafetySam's long-standing community—those who've supported the brand's evolution from the ground up. The campaign now expands across digital platforms, social media, and storytelling content designed to resonate with both seasoned tradespeople and a new generation of users.
Notably, SafetySam is actively exploring partnerships. It is seeking content creators, industrial influencers, and distributors who share the same appreciation for quality craftsmanship and purpose-driven gear.

Macaron AI, the World's First Personal Agent, Officially Launches, Ushering in the Era of Experience AI
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 August 2025 – Macaron AI , the world's first Personal Agent, has officially launched, a category-defining AI product that reimagines how artificial intelligence fits into daily life, not just work faster. Macaron AI marks a pivotal shift from productivity AI to what experts now call Experience AI—It is a companion that understands your personality, preferences, and habits to support daily life. By modeling your tastes, history, and goals, it can analyze conversations in real time and instantly create personalized mini-apps, streamlining and enhancing everyday routines. Technology Beyond Prompts Macaron AI introduces a new architecture built on agentic memory. Unlike prompt-based systems, its memory is trained through reinforcement learning (RL) to autonomously retrieve, summarize, and update user context across sessions. Each interaction begins with a specialized memory token, enabling Macaron AI to remember not just what was said, but who the user is. ADVERTISEMENT This innovation allows Macaron AI to generate and maintain large-scale outputs—such as personalized mini-apps exceeding 100,000 lines of code—while preserving coherence and context. It also sets a new benchmark in efficiency, training a 671B-parameter model with just 48 H100 GPUs. By applying RL to both reasoning and memory, Macaron AI achieves scalable, consistent, and deeply personalized performance. Trained to Evolve, Designed to Care Macaron doesn't offer 'future you only watch' like a tech demo. It delivers: On-demand generation of real tools that respond instantly to individual needs Ongoing relationship-building based on memory Interactions designed to guide behavioral change All of this is powered by RL training and Deep Memory, the foundation of a truly usable Personal Agent. Crucially, these tools require no coding or complex setup. Macaron can instantly generate custom 'mini-apps' for each user, building small, high-precision applications or tools in as little as 15 minutes. This marks a major departure from the one-size-fits-all assistant model — Macaron is a memory bank, a programmer, and a companion that grows into whatever is needed to enrich a user's life. Redefining the AI Landscape Macaron AI redefines what AI can be—not just a tool for work, but a companion for life. As the first true Personal Agent of the Experience AI era, it positions Macaron AI at the forefront of a new standard.
