Product Overview
The Darts S1P ESD SRC safety shoe from the Base Record collection is a sophisticated blend of protection and ergonomic design, specifically engineered for professionals who spend long hours on their feet. These low-profile safety shoes provide a streamlined alternative to bulky boots without compromising on the rigorous safety standards required in modern industrial and technical environments. With its clean black aesthetic and high-performance materials, this footwear offers a professional look for those who require technical precision and safety in equal measure.
Key Features
SlimCap Toe Protection: The non-magnetic SlimCap provides 200 joules of impact resistance while maintaining a thinner profile than traditional steel, ensuring safety without excessive weight or bulk.
Fresh’n Flex Midsole: This puncture-resistant layer protects the sole of the foot from sharp objects and debris while remaining flexible enough to allow for natural foot movement throughout the day.
SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial and anti-odour lining that maintains a hygienic internal environment, significantly reducing the build-up of bacteria that cause unpleasant smells after a long shift.
ESD Compliance: Specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharges, these shoes are essential for workers in high-tech manufacturing and assembly lines.
Design & Performance
Constructed with an Antifatigue AirTech and TPU-Skin upper and outsole, the Darts shoe is built to reduce the strain on your legs and lower back. The innovative AirTech technology provides a cushioned feel that absorbs kinetic energy, effectively acting as a shock absorber for your feet. Despite its substantial and sturdy construction, the shoe remains flexible enough for active movement. The SRC slip resistance rating ensures stable footing on both ceramic and steel surfaces, even when contaminated with lubricants. Furthermore, the metal-free construction means these are nickel and ferrous free, making them entirely compatible with security environments and metal detectors.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of high-specification safety footwear designed to meet precise European safety standards (UNI EN ISO 20345:2012), this item is sold as-is. Modifying the structure or upper of safety shoes, even through embroidery or heat-pressing, could compromise the protective integrity of the technical materials and invalidate the safety certifications required to protect you in the workplace.
Use Cases
The Darts safety shoe is perfectly suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, automotive assembly, and logistics where ESD protection is paramount. Their understated design and non-magnetic components also make them an excellent choice for airport staff and security personnel who must pass through metal detectors frequently while requiring the protection of an S1P rated shoe.

Practical Advice
These shoes are designed with a versatile fit that accommodates both men’s and women’s sizing. For those with specific ergonomic requirements, they are compatible with orthopaedic made-to-measure footbeds complying with DGUV112-191 norms. When pairing these with work trousers, ensure the hem does not interfere with the ESD contact points of the shoe to maintain full electrostatic protection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your footwear, it is essential to keep the outer material clean. Remove surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each shift to prevent the TPU-Skin from degrading due to prolonged chemical or hydrocarbon exposure, which could eventually weaken the structure of the shoe.
Never dry your safety shoes on a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can cause the technical adhesives and the antibacterial lining to become brittle and fail prematurely. Instead, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area to preserve the integrity of the materials.
