Airtech + Tpu-Skin is an exclusive technology, patented by Base Protection, to reduce the outsole's hard and compact thickness to 0.2 mm.
The result is an increased elasticity of the safety shoe and a cushioning and anti-fatigue effect.
Reducing the outsole allows more space for AirTech, the soft and elastic layer that cushions and promotes the best distribution of body weight.
The greater elasticity and less pressure on the metatarsus make you feel like walking on a soft pillow.
The external sole layer is reduced to a thin layer of 0,2 mm, which translate into a more resistant to flexion and abrasion "skin".
With the outsole reduction, the soft and elastic thickness of Airtech increases to absorb the body weight.
More elasticity and less pressure on the metatarsal allow to walk like on a soft carpet!
There are special conditions that put a strain on the endurance of the safety shoes and on the well-being of the foot, exposing them to stresses that could cause serious damage to the health of the worker.
The solution comes from Base Protection with the new technology that combines solidity and lightness to offer comfort, strength, and resistance to stress.
The secret is a sole made with a low density compound that reduces the weight but has the same performance as that of a double density sole, with high resistance to bending, abrasion and tearing.
4×4 combines the lightness of the outsole with high resistance to bending, abrasion, and tearing.
The outsole is made of a low density compound, which increases lightness while maintaining the same performance as a dual density outsole.
Light, robust, and comfortable at the same time. Ideal for outdoor work.
Lightness is a fundamental requirement for those who wear safety shoes for 8 hours a day. Often, however, safety shoes, even respecting the safety standards set by the regulations, are heavy and damp, causing discomfort to the foot. For this reason, Base Protection has designed the non-metallic SlimCap toe cap.
The weight of normal safety shoes can be up to 750 grams. Thanks to SlimCap and other technologies, Base Protection footwear can weigh up to 480 grams, while maintaining the safety parameters unchanged.
With SlimCap, the external dimensions of the Base Protection shoes are significantly reduced, with a 35% decrease in thickness compared to market standards. However, this reduction does not affect the performance of the safety shoes, which are guaranteed from -40 ° to 60 °.
The non-metallic SlimCap toe cap, only 6.5 mm thick, is not only smaller and lighter than those normally used, but it's also elastic, non-magnetic, and heat-insulating.
Lightness and comfort are also guaranteed by the protective band, which is perfectly adherent and shaped to the toe cap, avoiding the risk of detaching which causes pressure on the foot, and consequent pain to the toes.
Toe-cap's thickness is reduced to as low as 6.5 mm compared to other similar toe cap on the market: more room for toes.
Equipped with a protective strip and toe-cap shaped, it avoids the risk of accidental detachment and reduces the painful pressure on toes.
No pressure on toes and no pain.
One of the most important technologies applied to Base Protection shoes is SmellStop, a particular anti-odour lining that prevents the proliferation of microorganisms responsible for bad odours and fungi.
With SmellStop, Base Protection has made its safety shoes anti-odour and antibacterial*, ensuring maximum foot protection.
Thanks to the SmellStop permanent antibacterial* treatment, the risks of infections and fungi caused by sweat are drastically reduced, since the innovative lining recreates a healthy environment inside the shoe and a constant dry microclimate, ideal conditions to give well-being to the foot.
*Treatment made with biocide Zinc pyrithione (CAS-No.13463-41-7) product type PT 09 which counteracts the deposit of microorganisms on the surface of materials.
The advantage of Base Protection's SmellStop technology lies in the fact that the antibacterial* treatment does not have an expiration date but is effective for the entire lifespan of the safety shoes, carrying out a constant action.
Thanks to SmellStop, the Base Protection anti-odour safety shoes are comfortable and light even when worn for many hours a day.
The SmellStop lining keeps the foot dry, gently wrapping it with maximum wearability.
Scan&Fit is the new Base Protection technology that allows you to perform a three-dimensional scan of your feet using a revolutionary smartphone app, designed to choose your ideal safety shoe including the size you require and which insoles would be most beneficial.
The system is very simple. Simply place your foot on a white sheet of A4 size and take 3 pictures of each foot from 3 different angles: the centre, the outside and the inside.
The application uses a mathematical model based on a vast database of 3D scans and on innovative three-dimensional reconstruction algorithms, developed by the Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV).
The app crosses the volumetric and morphological information of the scans with all Base Protection footwear to help identify the models that, in terms of shape and size, guarantee your ideal fit giving you the best possible chance of an incredibly comfortable fit.
Once the shoe has been selected, to further customize the choice and deliver an extra level of comfort the app will also suggest the size and the Base Protection insole most suitable for the shape of your foot arch: normal, generally flat or generally hollow.
The insoles are specifically designed by Base Protection in collaboration with the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute of Bologna. Thanks to the design of the Dry’n Air® insoles, you will experience optimal fit and comfort with a more uniform distribution of load forces leading to better balance and perfect stability control.
Adding the different insoles to the shoe keep the EU certification unchanged
