Product Overview
The Base K-Super S1PS ESD HRO SC FO SR is an expertly engineered low shoe from the Kaptiv collection, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments. It represents a sophisticated balance of high-level safety certification and the breathability typically found in technical athletic footwear. Featuring a breathable technical fabric upper and a robust PU/Rubber outsole, this shoe provides a substantial yet agile solution for professionals who spend long hours on their feet.
Key Features
- 200 Joules Aluminium Toe-Cap: This lightweight aluminium insert provides essential protection against falling objects and compression, offering the same safety as steel without the added bulk or weight.
- Fresh'n Flex Puncture Resistance: A super-light non-metallic midsole protects the foot from sharp objects underfoot, maintaining shoe flexibility for more natural movement.
- SmellStop Anti-Odour Lining: This antibacterial treatment is integrated into the lining to prevent the growth of bacteria, ensuring the footwear remains fresh and hygienic even after intense use.
- HRO Heat Resistant Outsole: The rubber outsole is tested to withstand contact heat up to 300°C for one minute, providing a critical safety margin in high-temperature environments.
- ESD Protection: Engineered to protect electronic devices from electrostatic discharges, making this footwear essential for sensitive technical environments.
Design & Performance
The K-Super is built upon a double-density PU and HRO rubber outsole that provides exceptional slip resistance (SR) on both ceramic and glycerin surfaces. The integration of the Dry'n Air comfort insole ensures active ventilation; as you walk, air is pushed through the system to keep the foot dry. The technical fabric upper is specifically chosen for its vapour permeability, which works in tandem with the lining to manage moisture and temperature effectively.
For added durability, the shoe features a protective TPU scuff cap. This addition protects the front of the shoe from high-impact abrasion when kneeling or working in tight spaces, significantly extending the lifespan of the footwear in trade environments.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), these shoes are sold as-is to ensure your safety remains uncompromised. Applying customisation such as embroidery or heat-applied logos could puncture the technical membranes or interfere with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) properties of the shoe. We prioritise your safety and the integrity of the EN ISO 20345:2022 standards over branding on this specific item.
Use Cases
This footwear is ideally suited for professionals working in electronics manufacturing, light engineering, logistics, and automotive sectors. Its heat-resistant properties also make it a reliable choice for those working in proximity to hot surfaces or in environments where puncture protection and slip resistance are paramount.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, please note that this model is designed with specific widths in mind: 10.5 for women and 12 for men. We recommend wearing high-quality moisture-wicking socks to complement the shoe's internal ventilation system. If you are between sizes, consider that the ergonomic design is intended to provide a secure fit that prevents internal foot movement during physical activity.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of the technical fabric upper is vital for preserving the shoe's breathability. If the pores of the fabric become blocked with dust or debris, the ventilation system will be less effective. We recommend cleaning with a soft brush or a damp cloth and allowing the shoes to air dry naturally. Never use external heat sources to speed up drying, as this can cause the rubber components to become brittle.
The SmellStop lining is designed for longevity, but its effectiveness is best maintained by allowing the shoes to air out fully between shifts. Regularly inspecting the outsole for trapped stones or contaminants will ensure the slip-resistant and anti-static properties remain at peak performance.
