Base B1004C K-Speed S1P HRO SRC Safety Shoes

Base B1004C K-Speed S1P HRO SRC Safety Shoe

The B1004C K-Speed, from Base Protection's most prestigious and technologically advanced KAPTIV series, is a safety shoe with a sporty design specifically created for the summer season and hot working environments. With its striking yellow details and dynamic silhouette, the K-Speed not only offers an eye-catching appearance but also incorporates cutting-edge industry features such as i-daptive® adaptive sole technology, a HRO outsole resistant to heat up to 300°C, and the patented Dry'n Air® breathable system. It is perfectly suited for professionals seeking both physical protection and all-day comfort in demanding environments such as construction, logistics, warehousing, agriculture, and heavy industry.

Safety Certification and Standards

Base B1004C K-Speed 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® — KAPTIV Series Adaptive Sole Technology

The i-daptive® sole technology, unique to Base Protection's KAPTIV series, fundamentally distinguishes the B1004C K-Speed from standard safety shoes. Unlike traditional rigid-soled shoes, i-daptive® instantly detects the force of the foot's impact with the ground during walking and proportionally absorbs and dissipates the impact energy: the harder the impact, the stronger the sole's response. This adaptive mechanism realigns the foot and body joints, correcting posture and balancing pronation and supination. It significantly reduces fatigue in the back, knees, and ankles during long shifts.

HRO — 300°C Heat Resistant Outsole

The K-Speed's dual-density PU/HRO Rubber outsole is designed to withstand contact heat of 300°C for 1 minute. This feature is indispensable for workers in welding, casting, glass manufacturing, furnace lines, and any environment with hot floors. The dual-density structure of the outsole provides both a heat barrier and superior abrasion resistance, while the SRC certification guarantees secure grip on slippery surfaces.

Dry'n Air® Breathable System

Base Protection's patented Dry'n Air® technology continuously circulates air within the shoe through the pumping action created by heel pressure during walking. Moisture and warm air are expelled, while fresh air is drawn in. For workers in the summer season and hot environments, the K-Speed, thanks to Dry'n Air®, offers significantly cooler and drier foot comfort compared to other safety shoes.

Seamless Technical Fabric Upper — +40% Tear Resistance

The seamless breathable technical fabric used in the K-Speed's upper provides +40% tear resistance above the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard. The seamless manufacturing technique both eliminates friction points for increased comfort and offers a durable structure resistant to wear. The TPU-reinforced heel area provides additional durability to the most heavily loaded part of the shoe.

Aluminum Toe Cap — Lightweight and Strong

The K-Speed's aluminum toe cap passes 200 joule impact and 15 kN compression tests while offering a lighter structure compared to traditional steel toe caps. The lightness of aluminum, combined with the comfort gains provided by the i-daptive® sole and Dry'n Air® insole, significantly reduces the total foot load carried throughout the day.

SmellStop® 100% Antibacterial Lining

The SmellStop® lining permanently prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause bad odors and fungi, which is critically important, especially in summer and hot working environments. Its 100% antibacterial formula is wash-resistant; its effect lasts throughout the life of the shoe.

Fresh'n Flex Puncture Resistant Midsole

The Fresh'n Flex midsole, made from ballistic textile, provides full protection against nails, glass, and sharp metal objects while offering a flexible and lightweight alternative to traditional steel midsoles. Working in conjunction with the i-daptive® sole system, it provides optimal energy absorption and puncture protection with every step.

Suitable for Which Sectors?

The S1P + HRO + SRC + i-daptive® combination makes the B1004C K-Speed ideal for the following sectors:

• Construction, building sites, and building decoration — standing for long periods on hard surfaces
• Logistics, warehousing, and forklift operations
• Welding, casting and metalworking — HRO hot floor protection
• Glass manufacturing and furnace lines — 300°C sole heat resistance
• Agriculture, animal husbandry and outdoor field work
• Cement, mining and quarries
• Heavy industry and machinery manufacturing
• Summer season and work areas predominantly in hot environments
