Dike Total
Resilience
System
INTO CTION 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. 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.
DER®
(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.
DXT®
(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
DTS®
(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.
DAS®
(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.

TECHNOLOGY
WE LIKE THE IDEA OF GIVING YOU THE BEST, WHILE YOU GIVE THE BEST OF YOURSELF.
Who said that a colourful and lightweight product cannot use the best technology available? Who said that efficiency and creativity cannot go hand in hand? Faithful to its spirit, Dike challenges clichés about work shoes and workwear. Also because the world of clichés is busy and crowded, and we like open spaces. Spaces where future and present play together, where new possibilities can be invented. So Dike protects workers, and also shows that comfort can look good too. With the calm of someone who realises that a good piece of work is not a medal to be shown off, but a personal objective. With the lightness of those who get excited about making difficult things easy. With the commitment of those who want to give you the best, while you give the best of yourself.
