Product Overview
The Base K-Twirl S1PS ESD HRO CI FO SR is a high-specification safety shoe designed for professionals who require a blend of athletic comfort and rigorous protection. Part of the Kaptiv range, this low shoe is constructed from a water-resistant technical fabric in a distinctive grey and green colourway. It offers a modern alternative to traditional heavy leather boots without compromising on safety standards, meeting the latest EN ISO 20345:2022 requirements.
Key Features
Aluminium Toe-cap: This lightweight yet robust cap provides 200 joules of impact resistance, ensuring your toes are protected from falling objects while reducing overall foot fatigue.
Fresh'n Flex Puncture Resistance: Featuring a non-metallic insert designed to stop 3mm nails, this insole ensures your feet are shielded from sharp hazards on the ground.
SmellStop Lining: An antibacterial treatment within the lining helps prevent the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping the shoes fresh even after a long shift.
i-daptive System: This intelligent technology adapts to your movements, providing stability and energy return to help reduce the risk of injury and joint strain.
ESD Protection: Specifically designed to discharge electrostatic buildup, protecting sensitive electronic equipment and components in specialised work environments.
Design & Performance
The K-Twirl is engineered for those who are constantly on the move. The upper is crafted from a high-performing technical fabric that provides excellent vapour permeability, ensuring high levels of breathability. This is paired with a double-density PU and rubber outsole that offers HRO heat resistance and SR slip resistance, providing confidence on various surfaces including ceramic and glycerin.
While the shoe is a substantial and sturdy piece of footwear, the use of an aluminium toe-cap and non-metallic puncture resistance keeps the weight manageable for all-day wear. The Comfort Cube footbed adds an extra layer of cushioning, making it ideal for staff who spend hours on their feet in demanding environments.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat transfers, on the Base K-Twirl safety shoe. This is because any modification to the technical upper or internal linings could compromise the EN ISO safety certifications or interfere with the ESD properties. To ensure your PPE performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, we supply these shoes in their original, un-tampered state.
Use Cases
These shoes are perfectly suited for professionals in the electronics industry where ESD protection is mandatory. They are also an excellent choice for warehouse staff, logistics drivers, and light industrial workers who require reliable foot protection and slip resistance but prefer the flexibility and style of a trainer-like safety shoe.

Practical Advice
The K-Twirl is designed with inclusive sizing in mind, offering a specific width of 10.5 for women and 12 for men to ensure a comfortable fit across the board. We recommend pairing these shoes with high-quality moisture-wicking socks to complement the SmellStop lining and breathable fabric, further enhancing foot health during long shifts.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of your safety footwear, it is essential to keep them clean. After use, remove any mud or debris with a soft brush; allowing dirt to build up can eventually damage the technical fabric and reduce the effectiveness of the water resistance.
If the shoes become wet, allow them to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly against a heat source, such as a radiator, as this can cause the materials to become brittle and may affect the structural integrity of the bonding in the outsole. Regular care ensures that your investment continues to provide the safety performance you rely on.
