Primato is the new way of looking at things: a world in which fatigue becomes harmony and flexibility while weight is turned into thrust power, capable of bringing goals much closer; ones that appeared to be dreams, and yet are here, within touching distance.
Let’s turn the reaction into action together
An eye on the future, passion and attention to detail: this is how we have reinvented the concept of total resilience, one of the most revolutionary aptitudes of the modern world.
We have achieved this with Primato, a shoe that incorporates a combined system of complementary technologies. A synergy between four characteristics, raising the standards of comfort and lightness to levels that seemed unobtainable in the world of accident prevention.
Boosting your input, transforming it into energy and a sense of freedom, absorbing the impact with the ground and returning it as energy.
This may be considered utopia by some, but Dike has turned this idea into the characteristics of the new Primato model.
DIKE ENERGY REBOUND
WE PUT A LOT OF ENERGY INTO EVERYTHING WE DO: SPEED DOES NOT COUNT; ENERGY IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
This consideration was our starting point in developing a revolutionary midsole. DER® consists of polyurethane microcapsules which function like a spring system. When the shoe impacts the ground, the kinetic energy in the compression phase is absorbed and then returned in the subsequent step phase with an automatic upward thrust. The energy return is 40%: a higher threshold would be counter-productive for the muscles, neutralising the rebound effect. Thus, the perfect level has been calibrated by our research laboratory through biodynamic tests which have established the optimal return threshold.
DIKE TOTAL SHIELD
WITH DTS®, DIKE CLAIMS ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE PODIUM OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
The exclusive penetrationresistant sole in latest-generation aramad fibre weighs 50% less than the most widely used fabric layers. It is ultra-resistant, guaranteeing perforation protection against 3-mm long nails. DTS® anticipates the upcoming regulations for the world of safety in the workplace and takes you one step further into the future.
DIKE ACTIVE SUPPORT
TOTAL SUPPORT AND COMFORT MAKING EVERY STEP LIGHTER
While the midsole cushions the impacts between the inner and outer soles and helps to improve the rebound, comfort and stability, the exclusive removable insole, developed by our research laboratories, represents the very best in terms of comfort and ergonomics. In addition to being made of a special material which makes it 50% lighter than any other insole, the microcapsules of which it consists, work in tandem with the midsole, massaging the foot when walking and providing instant relief and optimal ergonomic support. Thanks to the sanitising, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal materials blended into the design mould, feet stay fresh and dry even after a long day’s work. But there is more because Dike wants to take care not just of your feet, but of the environment in which they move as well. Thus, the insole is also ecological and recyclable.
DIKE EXTRA LIGHT TOE
RESILIENCE IS ALSO THE ABILITY TO ABSORB AN IMPACT WITH LIGHTNESS
The DXT® safety toecap is made entirely of carbon fibre, a material that can assimilate every knock with an incredible strength-weight ratio. Our Engineering division developed it through a series of in-depth studies on innovative technology and solutions focused on the use of components and materials, capable of revolutionising the world of safety footwear.
