INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE SYSTEM
The intelligent system for dynamic comfort.
The revolutionary technology created by Base Protection for the new Kaptiv shoe line.
i-daptive® is the smart system that adapts to the foot to give you an incredible feeling of dynamic comfort.
How i-daptive® technology works
The i-daptive® system works on several levels:
- it gives stability to the foot and, in case of small lateral oscillations, corrects the axis of the foot, bringing it back to the optimal position;
- it facilitates the walk, giving fluidity to the heel-toe transition, through a modular process called “variable geometry”;
- it adapts to the rough, uneven surface of the ground, behaving like an active suspension that cushions and reduces the repercussions on the stability of the foot.
i-daptive® has a variable behavior that changes depending on the type of work, to ensure safety and comfort in every condition
COMFORT MODE
i-daptive® guarantees the anti-fatigue effect by returning part of the absorbed energy, in a way which is biomechanically compatible with the walking cycle.
DYNAMIC MODE
Thanks to the variable geometry of the system you are guaranteed an instantaneous adaptation to different use conditions.
OFF ROAD MODE
Reducing the risk of trauma and sprains in rugged terrain is achieved by the stability control system, constantly working to keep your foot on axis and relieving pressure on your joints.

Four benefits in a single system.
i-daptive® is the smart technology applied to safety shoes, which provides numerous benefits.
ABSORBTION
The energy produced by the impact between the foot and the impact surface is absorbed: the system reacts dynamically and instantly utilising the work and impact to benefit the user and reduce shock sensation.
DISSIPATION
High impact energy is dissipated, taking the load off the body and immediately restoring normal function and ability. The stronger the impact the more your shoe works.
RETURN
Energy is returned for your benefit and varies to the speed and movement of the foot.
STABILITY
The foot is stabilized constantly as the sole works to keep the foot on axis, even during Supination and Pronation movements. This provides relief to pressure placed on the joints in the foot and further up the body, reducing risk of sprains.
