A.Box System

A.Box is the innovative ventilation system developed in Diadora’s research labs. Thanks to the ventilation openings on the sides of the shoe, it ensures superior breathability and unmatched comfort in any situation. Together with the special Ariatex membrane, which prevents water from entering while allowing water vapor to escape, it guarantees dry and protected feet without compromising safety features.

K Sole Eco

Puncture-resistant insole made of high-density recycled polyethylene. It is recommended to use this material, which ensures high durability, lightness—45% lighter than a conventional insole—and flexibility. The advantage of this insole is that it covers the entire surface of the insole, thus ensuring complete protection for the entire foot. K SOLE ECO is a non-metallic insole.

Ergonomic Support

The external TPU heel guard ensures stability, protection, and comfort.

Heel Grip

Microfiber anti-slip reinforcement for the heel area and to protect the lining. Available in two versions: one with partial coverage in the shape of a half-moon and one with full coverage of the entire heel area.

Nitrile Rubber

High-performance nitrile rubber outsole, resistant to contact heat up to 300 °C for one minute, as well as oils and hydrocarbons.

Ariatex

Ariatex is a new-generation breathable membrane free of perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It represents an innovative solution for improving the comfort, protection, and sustainability of safety footwear. This membrane was developed for harsh environments and working conditions and combines waterproofing, breathability, and mechanical resistance without the use of fluorinated substances that are harmful to the environment and human health. Water vapor escapes more easily to the outside, promoting heat regulation and keeping feet dry in all weather conditions.

EVA

Midsole made of lightweight and flexible material derived from running shoes.
