Base B1004B K-Move S1P HRO SRC Safety Shoes

Base B1004B K-Move S1P HRO SRC Work Safety Shoes

The B1004B K-Move, from Base Protection's most prestigious KAPTIV series, is a high-performance work safety shoe where energy, movement, and absolute protection converge in a single product. The fundamental feature distinguishing K-Move from its competitors in the industry is Base Protection's patented i-daptive® adaptive sole technology: every time the foot strikes the ground, the impact is instantly absorbed, and the accumulated energy is gradually returned to support the walking rhythm. With its grey/blue color combination, seamless technical fabric upper, and aluminum toe cap, the K-Move offers a dynamic comfort and safety experience all day long in challenging environments such as construction, logistics, heavy industry, and agriculture.

Safety Certification and Standards

The Base B1004B K-Move is certified according to the EN ISO 20345 S1P HRO SRC standard. It also features an orthopedic insole compliant with the German safety standard DGUV 112-191.

Technical Material Structure

Key Technologies

i-daptive® — Adaptive Sole that Absorbs and Returns Energy

Base Protection's patented i-daptive® technology, exclusive to the KAPTIV series and a revolutionary innovation in the work safety sector, is at the heart of the K-Move. While traditional fixed-sole shoes merely absorb impact energy and dissipate it as loss, i-daptive® takes this a step further. The sole compresses proportionally to the force of impact with the ground, absorbing and storing energy with structural stability, and then gradually returning this accumulated energy during the forward phase of walking. The result: feet and body joints remain constantly aligned, posture improves, and pronation and supination are balanced. Cumulative fatigue on the back, knees, and ankles during long shifts is significantly reduced; the wearer gains energy with every step, rather than losing it as the hours pass.

Fresh'n Flex Ballistic Kevlar Midsole — 1100N Puncture Resistance

The K-Move's midsole features Fresh'n Flex with Kevlar fiber reinforcement instead of standard ballistic textile. This midsole offers a guarantee of zero penetration under 1100N force, providing the highest puncture resistance on the market against sharp objects such as nails, glass shards, and sharp metal pieces. Despite this, it is much lighter and more flexible than traditional steel midsoles, not restricting the foot's natural movement; it works in harmony with the i-daptive® sole system to provide optimal energy management with every step.

HRO — 300°C Heat Resistant Dual Density Outsole

The K-Move's dual-density PU/HRO Rubber sole is designed to withstand 300°C contact heat for 1 minute. The upper PU layer houses the i-daptive® system, managing energy, while the lower HRO rubber layer provides a heat barrier and abrasion resistance. This two-layer strategy simultaneously optimizes both safety and longevity. It offers full protection against heat risk from the ground in high-temperature environments such as welding, casting, furnace lines, and glass manufacturing.

Seamless Technical Fabric + SC Toe Cap Coating

The seamless technical fabric used in the K-Move's upper provides 40% greater tear resistance than the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard. The seamless manufacturing technique eliminates friction points, while its breathable structure makes it suitable for summer and all-season use. The SC (Scuff Cap) coating protects the front toe of the shoe against abrasion and hard edges, ensuring long-term durability. The TPU reinforced heel area supports the most heavily loaded part with additional strength.

Dry'n Air® Breathable System

Base Protection's patented Dry'n Air® technology continuously circulates air inside the shoe using the pumping effect generated by heel pressure during walking. Moisture and hot air are expelled, while fresh air is drawn in. In work environments requiring high mobility, Dry'n Air® keeps the foot cool and dry, supporting performance throughout the day.

SmellStop® 100% Antibacterial 3D Lining

The SmellStop® 3D lining permanently prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause bad odors and fungi, ensuring long-term foot hygiene during intensive K-Move use. Its 100% antibacterial formula is wash-resistant, and its effect lasts for the entire lifespan of the shoe.

Suitable for Which Sectors?

The combination of S1P + HRO + SRC + i-daptive® + Kevlar makes the B1004B K-Move ideal for the following sectors:

• Construction, building sites, and renovation — hard ground, long periods of standing
• Welding, casting, and metal processing — HRO hot floor protection
• Glass manufacturing and furnace lines — 300°C sole heat resistance
• Logistics, warehousing, and forklift operations — environments requiring high mobility
• Agriculture, animal husbandry, and outdoor field work
• Heavy industry and machine manufacturing
• Cement, mining, and quarrying
• Automotive manufacturing and vehicle maintenance workshops
• Environments with high risk of sharp objects — work areas requiring Kevlar midsole

Why Base B1004B K-Move?

• i-daptive® energy recovery system: Only found in the KAPTIV series, this technology does what its static-based competitors cannot: it returns accumulated impact energy to support walking. The difference is felt during long shifts.
• Kevlar ballistic midsole — 1100N puncture resistance: The industry's highest puncture resistance, exceeding the standard Fresh'n Flex in K-Speed; an extra layer of assurance in environments with a high risk of sharp objects.
