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!
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
