Base B1704B London S1PS ESD SC LG FO SR Work Shoe
Base B1704B London S1PS ESD SC LG FO SR Safety Shoe
Base B1704B London is a Vegan model from the Run@Work series, combining the aesthetics of a running shoe with work safety standards. Featuring a technical fabric upper without animal products, patented HiFlap® balance technology, and an ultra-thin SlimCap composite toe cap, London offers S1PS, ESD, SC, LG, FO, and SR protection codes with the comfort of a sports shoe. Designed for professionals working long hours on their feet in logistics, manufacturing, automotive, and electronics sectors, this model is also a preferred reference for summer and moderately warm environments.
Key Features
HiFlap® Sole Technology — Balance with Every Step
A distinctive feature of the Run@Work series, HiFlap® consists of two independent pyramidal devices placed in the heel area. This system, which activates automatically with every step, absorbs impact energy generated during walking, balances excessive pronation and supination, and enhances grip on the ground. The result: significant reduction in fatigue and increased ankle stability during long static or active work shifts. Unlike i-daptive® technology, the HiFlap® mechanism operates independently directly in the heel area; the two systems complement each other.
Vegan — No Animal Products
B1704B London is produced without the use of animal-derived materials. The technical fabric upper and all internal components are vegan certified. This feature is an important selection criterion for employees with ethical consumption preferences and corporate purchasing policies that restrict the use of animal products.
SlimCap Composite Toe Cap — Ultra Thin, Metal-Free
SlimCap is a composite toe cap technology with a much thinner profile compared to standard toe caps, offering 200 Joule impact and 15 kN compression resistance. Since it contains no metal, it is non-conductive and does not cause issues at metal detector checkpoints. The thin profile preserves the internal volume of the shoe, minimizing pressure and pain in the toes.
LG — Lateral Guard Protection
The LG (Lateral Guard) code ensures the protection of the toes against impacts and crushing from the side, thanks to support structures added to the sides of the toe cap. This provides additional assurance beyond standard toe caps against common hazards in forklift operations, pallet truck use, or confined warehouse and production environments.
S1PS — Closed Heel + Area-Based Puncture Resistance
In addition to the S1P standard, the PS code provides area-based puncture resistance covering the entire sole surface, rather than traditional strip-based puncture protection. This protection activates if screws, nails, or sharp objects attempt to penetrate at any point along the sole. The closed heel (A) structure also eliminates the risk of impacts from the rear.
ESD — Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Ensures controlled grounding of static electricity with conductivity values compliant with EN ISO 20345:2022 ESD requirements. It continuously dissipates electrostatic charge accumulated in the body during walking; it is mandatory protection for electronic equipment manufacturing, automotive assembly, explosive atmosphere (ATEX) classified facilities, and semiconductor factories.
SC — Heel Energy Absorption
The shock-absorbing system in the heel area reduces the impact force transmitted to the lower extremities during walking. The SC code, working in conjunction with HiFlap® technology, supports knee, hip, and lower back health during prolonged work on concrete, ceramic, and asphalt surfaces.
FO + SR — Hydrocarbon Resistance and Certified Slip Resistance
Thanks to the FO code, the sole compound is chemically resistant to petroleum, diesel, and derivative hydrocarbon liquids. The SR code is a slip resistance certification independently tested on both ceramic and steel surfaces according to EN ISO 13287; it provides secure grip on wet and oily surfaces.
AirTech TPU-Skin Sole — Anti-Fatigue
The extra flexible TPU-coated AirTech sole absorbs stepping energy while keeping the foot active and dynamic. The air technology within the sole distributes pressure on the sole of the foot during long periods of static standing and walking combinations, supporting pronation and supination cycles.
Breathable Technical Fabric Upper & SmellStop Lining
Designed for summer and high-temperature environments, the technical fabric upper provides maximum air circulation, keeping the foot cool and dry. The SmellStop antibacterial lining permanently prevents the growth of microorganisms responsible for fungi and bad odors.

Which Sectors Is It Suitable For?
Base B1704B London is suitable for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing (ESD requirement), automotive assembly lines (ESD + LG + metal-free), logistics and warehouse operations (LG lateral protection + SR slip resistance), construction and building sites (S1PS puncture resistance), petrochemical and refinery (FO + ESD), textile and food production, cleaning and service sectors, and all indoor work environments requiring long hours of standing. With its summer technical fabric upper, it is particularly preferred in high-temperature and poorly ventilated production areas.
What is the Difference Between Run@Work London and the Kaptiv Series?
The core technology of the Kaptiv series (B1004B, B1006A, B1045 family) is the patented i-daptive® smart midsole; this system provides dynamic adaptation across the entire sole. The distinctive technology of the Run@Work series (including B1704B London) is HiFlap®; this system specifically provides balance and fatigue control in the heel area with two independent devices, bringing the feel of a running shoe to safety standards. London is also one of the rare models that meets corporate purchasing and ethical production requirements with its Vegan-approved and metal-free structure.
