Product Overview
The Base Copenhagen S7S represents a sophisticated evolution in safety footwear, specifically engineered for the modern professional within the Run@Work range. This mid-shoe is far more than a standard piece of protective equipment; it is a high-performance tool designed for efficiency and all-day comfort. With its distinctive black and lime microfiber finish, it provides a sharp, professional aesthetic while meeting the rigorous EN ISO 20345:2022 standards. It is a robust choice for those who require full waterproof protection without sacrificing the agility needed for a fast-paced work day.
Key Features
- The H2Stop waterproof membrane ensures your feet remain dry in inclement weather or wet indoor environments, preventing the discomfort and hygiene issues associated with damp socks.
- An integrated BOA Fit System allows for a precise, micro-adjustable fit that won't come undone during a shift, significantly increasing safety and convenience compared to traditional laces.
- A 200-joule resistant SlimCap toe-cap offers vital protection against falling objects and compression, designed with a reduced profile for a less bulky, more streamlined fit.
- The SmellStop antibacterial and anti-odour lining actively combats the bacteria that cause unpleasant smells, maintaining a fresher internal environment even after long hours on your feet.
- Fresh'n Flex puncture resistance uses a non-metallic insert to protect against sharp objects like nails, providing a lightweight and flexible barrier that doesn't compromise the shoe's movement.
- Electronic devices protection from electrostatic discharges (ESD) makes this footwear suitable for sensitive technical environments.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-performing microfiber, the upper is both durable and vapour-permeable, allowing for the breathability that is often lost in waterproof footwear. The AirTech PU and TPU skin outsole is designed to provide substantial shock absorption in the heel region, which is critical for reducing fatigue during long shifts on hard industrial floors. The outsole also features a specialised ladder grip and is resistant to fuel and oil, ensuring stability on various hazardous surfaces. Despite its sturdy build and comprehensive safety features, the shoe maintains a lightweight feel through the use of technical materials, avoiding the cumbersome nature of traditional safety boots.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat printing, on the Base Copenhagen shoe. As a piece of safety-certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), any modification to the upper—particularly those involving needles—would compromise the integrity of the H2Stop waterproof membrane. Furthermore, altering the structural components could invalidate the EN ISO certification, potentially leaving you or your employees without the legal protection required on-site. We believe in maintaining the manufacturer's exact specifications to ensure your safety is never compromised.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, logistics, and site management where ESD protection and waterproof capabilities are paramount. The inclusion of a ladder grip makes it a sensible choice for tradespeople who frequently ascend and descend equipment, while the oil-resistant outsole is essential for those in automotive or heavy industrial settings. Being vegan-friendly, it also meets the requirements of workers seeking high-quality synthetic alternatives to leather.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this model is designed with specific widths—10.5 for women and 12 for men—to ensure a better anatomical fit and reduced rubbing. If you find yourself between sizes, consider that the BOA system allows for significant adjustment, though the puncture-resistant insole is fixed. For those using bespoke orthotics, this shoe is compliant with European norms DGUV112-191 for made-to-measure footbeds, allowing you to maintain your orthopaedic support while remaining safe on the job.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your safety footwear is essential for preserving the performance of the technical materials and extending the life of the shoe. We recommend a proactive approach to care to ensure the waterproof membrane and antibacterial linings continue to function as intended.
Regularly clean the microfiber upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grit. Allowing mud to dry and remain on the shoe can eventually abrade the fibres and compromise the H2Stop membrane, leading to leaks. Never use harsh chemical solvents or stiff brushes, as these can degrade the TPU skin outsole and weaken the technical fabrics.
If the shoes become wet internally, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or heaters. Excessive heat can cause the microfiber to become brittle and may damage the waterproof membrane's bond. Keeping the interior clean and dry will also ensure the SmellStop antibacterial treatment continues to function effectively for the duration of the shoe's life.
