Base B1045A K-SKIP S3S ESD HRO SC FO SR Safety Footwear
Base B1045A K-Skip S3S ESD HRO SC FO SR Safety Shoe
Base B1045A K-Skip is the model with the most comprehensive protection profile in the Kaptiv series. Meeting all the requirements of the S3S class, the K-Skip combines ESD, HRO, SC, FO, and SR additional protection codes in a single shoe. It is designed for heavy industry, petrochemicals, metallurgy, and production environments requiring ESD sensitivity. With its patented i-daptive® sole technology and water-resistant upper, it offers high comfort during long working hours.
Highlighted Features
S3S Safety Class — Full Protection
In addition to meeting all the requirements of the S3 standard (200 J impact resistance, 15 kN crushing resistance, water resistance, puncture resistance), the S3S class mandates area-based puncture resistance instead of strip-based puncture protection. This provides a much wider protection surface in scenarios where walking over sharp objects.
ESD — Electrostatic Discharge Protection
With conductivity values meeting EN ISO 20345 ESD requirements, it ensures controlled grounding of electrostatic charges. It is an essential feature for work areas where static electricity poses a critical risk, such as electronics manufacturing, petrochemicals, and explosive environments (ATEX).
i-daptive® Smart Sole Technology
A patented midsole system that absorbs impact energy proportionally by detecting the force of the foot's contact with the ground and returns the accumulated energy in the rhythm of walking. It significantly reduces joint and muscle fatigue; it makes a difference, especially on hard surfaces and during long shifts.
Air-Tech Sole — HRO + SR
The dual-density PU/HRO rubber sole offers 1-minute contact resistance up to 300°C (HRO) and certified slip resistance (SR) performance on both ceramic and steel floors according to EN ISO 13287. It is a critical assurance for environments with a risk of contact with hot surfaces.
SC — Heel Energy Absorption
The shock-absorbing heel area reduces the impact force transmitted to the lower extremities during walking and running. It contributes to protecting knee and back health during long periods of standing work.
FO — Hydrocarbon Resistant Sole
The sole compound is chemically resistant to petroleum, diesel, and derivative hydrocarbon liquids. Sole integrity is maintained in fuel depots, refineries, and manufacturing environments where lubricating oils are used.
Water-Resistant Technical Fabric Upper
The water-resistant technical textile upper blocks external moisture and splashing water while preventing moisture accumulation inside the foot with its breathable structure. It meets the water resistance requirements of the S3 class.
Aluminum Toe Cap
The aluminum toe cap, resistant to 200 Joule impact and 15 kN crushing load, reduces foot fatigue with its 50% lighter structure compared to steel alternatives. Note for applications requiring metal detector passage in sensitive mechanical and engineering environments: since the model contains metal, it is recommended to direct to the B1217 series for metal-free needs.
SmellStop Antibacterial Lining & Fresh'n Flex Plus Insole
The SmellStop antimicrobial lining prevents bacterial growth and bad odors at their source, while the super lightweight Fresh'n Flex Plus insole provides comfort with every step. The dual system maintains hygiene and comfort during long shifts.

Suitable For Which Sectors?
Base B1045A K-Skip is suitable for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing (ESD sensitivity), petrochemical and refinery facilities (FO + ESD), metallurgy and casting (HRO + SC), construction sites and building (S3S puncture resistance), logistics and warehouse operations, agriculture and mining, and general heavy industry applications. It is especially recommended for mixed-risk environments where multiple hazards are present.
Why Base B1045A K-Skip?
Most safety shoes focus on a specific risk category. The K-Skip, building on the basic S3S class, adds ESD, HRO, SC, FO, and SR protection codes to offer a single shoe solution for environments with multiple hazards. Thanks to i-daptive® technology, this comprehensive protection is provided without compromising comfort; at the end of the day, foot, knee, and back fatigue are significantly reduced.
