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 technologies used by Base Protection is LifePlus, designed to improve adherence on all types of surfaces and reduce the abrasion of the outsole in work environments characterized by the presence of water-based liquids, such as agri-food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The polyurethane formulation prolongs the life cycle of the shoe and preserves safety and comfort for the entire duration of the outsole, giving extreme resistance to Base Protection shoes that are equipped with this technology.
Specifically, LifePlus guarantees:
One of the most important characteristics for a professional shoe is a good thermoregulation capacity. Wearing for many hours a day shoes that promotes the exchange of air improves your working day.
Base Protection designs breathable shoes, thanks to the Dry'n Air insole, a system patented by its engineers to obtain air circulation inside the shoe. This thermoregulation system can be integrated in the sole (Platinum Line) or in the removable anatomic insole.
Dry'n Air technology improves the quality of perspiration and keeps the foot dry even after a great load of stress, a condition that increases sweating.
The Base Protection breathable safety shoes with Dry'n Air technology push the moisture generated by sweat out of the footwear, improving the internal microclimate and the well-being of the foot, which remains dry and cool even in the presence of high temperatures. The high performance of the Base Protection breathable shoes is combined with a modern design, making them pleasant to wear even outside working hours.
The fresh air enters the instep through the footbed
While walking, the heel’s pressure pushes the air ahead, catching the humidity
The humid and warm air is pushed up, dissipating the heat
The secret is a system of always-free ducts and holes, in an ergonomic footbed able to raise the foot above the sole edge and equally distribute the weight.
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.
This is the European standard relating to safety footwear used for general purposes.
There are a host of specific tests conducted as part of EN ISO 20345, including tests for: Impact Resistance, Compression Resistance, and Anti-Penetration Insert.
Impact Resistance Test:
A steel weight of 20kg is adapted to fall freely on top of the footwear sample in order to assess the strength of the toe cap. After impact the distance between the toe cap and the insole must range between 12.5 –15mm.
Compression Resistance Test:
The footwear sample is subjected to a force of 15kN between two steel plates. Upon completion of the test the distance between the toe cap and the insole must range between 12.5 –15mm.
Anti-Penetration Insert Test:
A force of at least 1100N is applied to a test nail. In order to meet the standard, the tip of the nail must not protrude through the midsole of the footwear sample. A visual inspection is carried out to verify this.

These shoes protect your electronic devices from damage caused by electrostatic discharges. They work by minimising the build-up of static electricity that's created by walking around and also by conducting any latent charge to the ground.
These shoes are supplied in men's width
These shoes are supplied in women's width
These shoes are anti-static to help minimise the accumulation of electrostatic charges, thus avoiding the risk of fire, e.g. with inflammable substances and vapours
