Hyde, leading supplier of quality tools for professionals, has added another high end brand to its portfolio, becoming the exclusive UK distributor of Base Protection safety footwear.  Base has been one of the leading Italian manufacturers of safety footwear for the last decade.

With tradesmen typically spending the majority of their working day on their feet, investing in safety shoes or boots that cushion the feet and put comfort first is essential. Base safety footwear does just this, featuring the latest patented technology to offer an unrivalled level of comfort in boots and shoes that you can barely feel on your feet, whilst giving complete peace of mind that you are always well protected.

Combining design and performance, Base safety footwear is lightweight and flexible, leaving feet feeling less tired than standard safety boots and shoes, and less pinched due to slim toe caps. With Base, comfort is guaranteed through innovative technology that makes the soles on many shoes and boots in the range ultra-flexible so that they bend with you as you work.

With generous cushioning, feet are well supported during the tradesman’s working day, while the brand’s patented Dry’N Air air cooling ensures feet never get too hot, even during the summer months. Base safety footwear even has a patented SmellStop system, meaning shoes and boots can be taken off with confidence that they won’t leave a bad smell behind, an important point for any tradesman working in customers’ homes.

While comfort is all-important, safety is never compromised with Base footwear, which offers the superb non-slip performance, along with puncture resistant soles and composite, non-metal toe caps.

Exceeding the latest legislation for safety footwear on building sites, Base shoes and boots are made with typical Italian design and passion, taking advantage of the highest quality materials to ensure they are strong and durable enough for the most rugged of site-work. Strong bonds between the sole and upper lining also mean that the footwear will last the test of time, making Base a quality investment.
