Base 1704E Roma S1PS ESD SC LG FO SR Vegan Work Shoes

Base B1704E Roma S1PS ESD SC LG FO SR Vegan Safety Shoe

Coming from Base Protection's innovative RUN@WORK series, the B1704E Roma is one of the most eye-catching models in the series with its vibrant green/black color combination and summer-focused design. With a water-repellent hydrophobic technical fabric upper, patented HiFlap® heel stability technology, metal-free SlimCap™ composite toe cap, and ESD protection, the Roma offers superior balance, comfort, and safety in environments with both electrostatic risks and physical hazards, such as automation, electronics, logistics, and construction. It is made entirely from vegan materials and contains no animal products.

Safety Certification and Standards

Base B1704E Roma is certified according to the EN ISO 20345:2022 S1PS ESD SC LG FO SR standard. It also features an orthopedic insole compliant with the German safety standard DGUV 112-191.

Technical Material Structure

Key Technologies

HiFlap® — Patented Heel Stability System

The HiFlap® technology, unique to the RUN@WORK series, consists of two independently operating pyramid-perforated flap systems located in the heel area. During walking, each flap automatically and independently activates according to the foot's position; it balances overpronation or supination, keeping the foot dynamic and stable even on uneven or irregular surfaces. This mechanism both increases walking efficiency and significantly reduces cumulative fatigue on joints and the lower back.

Dry'n Air® Comfort Cub3 — Summer Season-Specific Breathability

The core technology of Roma's summer-focused design, Dry'n Air® Comfort Cub3, combines innovative breathable materials in a three-layer structure: a micro-channel system that enhances air circulation, an ultra-light core that reduces overall shoe weight, and a shock-absorbing layer that absorbs heel impacts. It keeps the foot cool and dry in hot and humid environments, while its DGUV 112-191 approved orthopedic structure supports lumbar, knee, and joint health during long working hours.

SlimCap™ Composite Toe Cap — Lightweight, Thin, Strong

With a profile thickness of only 6.5 mm, SlimCap™ is the strongest alternative to traditional steel or aluminum toe caps, passing 200 joules impact and 15 kN compression tests. Its special protective toe strip provides extra comfort, protecting the toes from pressure. It is completely metal-free; it can be used without issues in facilities requiring detector passage, in magnetic field environments, and in food/pharmaceutical production.

SmellStop™ Hi-Tech 3D Lining — Hygiene Assurance in Hot Weather

It is known that the risk of odor and fungus formation increases in summer and hot work environments. The SmellStop™ Hi-Tech 3D lining prevents the growth of responsible microorganisms with its permanent antibacterial treatment, while its 3-dimensional woven structure rapidly manages moisture from the skin. It offers long-lasting hygiene assurance thanks to its wash-resistant effect.

AirTech Antifatigue + TPU-Skin® Outsole

The thinned sole profile offers higher flexibility and better ground feel, while the AirTech Antifatigue system absorbs shock forces at every step, reducing the load on joints. The TPU-Skin® coating on the outer surface provides resistance to oil, acid, and alkali. The special LG grip profile in the middle of the sole ensures maximum grip on metal ladder steps.

ESD Protection and ATEX Compliance

Roma's ESD feature continuously and controllably conducts electrostatic charges accumulated in the body to the ground, protecting both the worker and sensitive electronic components on the production line. It eliminates the risk of electrical sparks in ATEX zones containing flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Its metal-free structure also meets the requirements for safe areas and facilities with detectors.

Vegan Production

Base B1704E Roma contains no animal-derived materials. While respecting ethical consumption choices, it also fully complies with vegan production requirements in the food, pharmaceutical, and hygiene sectors.
