Product Information
Full details
The Base I-CODE low safety shoe is engineered for adult professionals in demanding industrial and electronic-sensitive environments who require high-level protection without the weight of traditional metallic gear. Its primary benefit is the combination of a secure, adjustable BOA fit with advanced ESD (electrostatic discharge) safety features and long-lasting comfort technology. However, users should be aware that these are low-profile shoes and do not provide ankle support, making them less suitable for uneven terrain or sites requiring significant ankle stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes completely metal-free?
Yes, the Base I-CODE series is constructed entirely without metal components, including the toe cap and puncture-resistant sole.
Can I use these shoes in environments with sensitive electronics?
Yes, they are specifically designed with ESD protection to handle electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments.
How do I tighten the BOA system?
Push the dial in to engage the locking mechanism and rotate clockwise to tighten the fit.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed for cleaning or replacement with specialized orthotics if needed.
What is the weight compared to traditional steel-toe shoes?
Because they are metal-free and use advanced microfibre materials, these are significantly lighter than standard steel-toe shoes, reducing leg fatigue.
Troubleshooting
BOA dial fails to engage or tighten
Ensure no dirt or debris is trapped in the dial mechanism; clean with compressed air or a soft brush.
Shoe feels slippery on smooth floors
Clean the soles thoroughly to remove any build-up of dust or oil that may compromise traction.
Odor buildup despite antibacterial lining
Remove the insoles to air them out separately and ensure the shoe interior is completely dry after each shift.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight metal-free design
- Precise fit with BOA system

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, rotate the BOA dial clockwise until the cable is snug across the midfoot; pull the dial outward to release tension when removing the shoe. To maintain the integrity of the safety features, keep the shoes clean of heavy mud or oil, as these can impede the ESD dissipation capabilities of the sole. Clean the microfibre upper using a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the synthetic materials. Regularly inspect the sole for embedded debris that could puncture the protective layers, and replace the insoles if you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption performance over time.
