Hyperform is an innovative technology based on a supercritical material, in this case EVA, which allows us to create high-performance soles that are lightweight, elastic, sustainable and ideal for intense use. The supercritical EVA is a lightweight, elastic foam obtained by infusing the EVA polymer (ethylene-vinyl acetate) with a supercritical fluid to expand it, through an advanced process (Supercritical Foaming). From this running-shoe material, used to create soles that deliver exceptional energy return, cushioning, lightness and durability, emerged HYPERFORM, a supercritical technology designed to meet the needs of safety footwear.

Diadora Utility broadens its NET BREATHING SYSTEM range of products (licensed by GEOX), introducing its own proprietary technology. This exclusive line, developed within Diadora’s research laboratories, represents excellence in the field of innovation and design. These shoes leave the foot free to breathe, offering maximum comfort in any situation. The innovative lateral position of the ventilation holes in the new Airbox construction ensures unmatched breathability. The special GEOX Diadora membrane has now been further enhanced with the addition of holes along the sides, ensuring maximum breathability for the foot whilst remaining in perfect harmony with the protective elements that make up the shoe. Research has confirmed that this membrane - which features tiny holes or “micropores” that are smaller than a drop of water, but larger than a molecule of water vapour - prevents water from entering the shoe, while ensuring that the foot remains dry.

Ariatex is a breathable, latest-generation membrane. Free from fluorocarbons (PFAS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this membrane is an innovative solution for improving the comfort, protection and sustainability of safety footwear. Designed to endure severe weather and working conditions, this membrane offers water resistance, breathability and mechanical resistance, without using fluorinated substances that are harmful to the environment and our health. Water vapour is expelled outwards with greater ease, aiding heat regulation and keeping feet dry in all weather conditions.

A.Box is the innovative breathability system developed in the Diadora research laboratories which, thanks to the ventilation holes positioned on the sides of the shoe, ensures superior breathability and unparalleled comfort in every situation. Together with the special Ariatex membrane—capable of blocking external water while allowing vapor to escape—it guarantees dry and protected feet without compromising safety features.

Cushioning, energy return and long-lasting performance. Born from the Diadora research, Mass Damper is the new frontier of safety in the workplace. Mass Damper is a revolutionary technology that guarantees total cushioning and energy return while offering maximum protection, versatility and top quality performances over time for the new generation of safety shoes. To feel more energised and less tired at the end of a long day. The low-density material of the sole ensures great resilience and compression set performances, for maximum comfort and a high energy return. The coating creates an external protection shell that increases the sole resistance to abrasion, tearing, hydrolysis, fuels and oil. In addition, it serves to provide stability during the energy release phase. The Mass Damper technology extends to cover the whole surface of the sole, distributing the body weight evenly and allowing the foot to comfortably roll.

From the Diadora research labs comes the STABLE IMPACT SYSTEM CUSHIONING technology, providing outstanding cushioning and comfort, regardless of force exerted. The Stable Impact System is a cushioning system created by shaping the design of the sole in a special way. The purpose of cushioning is to absorb the energy generated by impact with the ground and to reduce the peak of the force returned on the muscles and bones of the wearer. The energy returned thanks to this technology is independent of the weight of the user, thus demonstrating that this system offers the perfect combination of cushioning, reactivity and comfort. Thanks to the combination of cushioning and reactivity, regardless of the size of the shoe and independent of the weight of the user. Thanks to the stable, uniform cushioning, comfort and stability of the shoes, they feel the same for all wearers.

Exclusive Diadora shock-absorbing system composed of two different density elastomers placed on the heel and metatarsal area. Created to ensure maximum shock absorbing.

The Geox revolution came about after long-time research targeted at the creation of a special membrane: made of microporous materials, it is able to absorb sweat in its vapour state and expel it via the perforated sole. The waterproof breathable membrane allows feet to breathe while keeping water out. This system allows for a natural thermal regulation of the feet, facilitating the presence of the ideal microclimate inside the shoes, resulting in dry, healthier feet. Thermal regulation is guaranteed even in the hottest climates and during the most intense work tasks. And flexibility features ensure maximum comfort in every situation.

D-Light is a new generation polyurethane compound that has been developed in collaboration with BASF; light and comfortable, it guarantees excellent cushioning and creates a comfortable, stable fit in all conditions and on all work surfaces.

Vibram Litebase is the innovative sole that reduces thickness and weight, while guaranteeing the same performance in terms of grip, stability and durability. In fact, while the thickness of the rubber sole is 50% less than a normal sole and the weight is reduced by up to 30%, stability, durability, grip and traction are still the same as always. In addition, the special Vibram HRO compound is contact heat-resistant and does not mark surfaces.

The BOA® Fit System delivers micro-adjustable, precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions. The BOA® Fit System is purpose-built for performance, delivering fast, effortless, precision fit. BOA®’s patented system consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, a super-strong lightweight lace, and low-friction lace guides. It is backed by the BOA® Guarantee.
