Makalu safety boots

Particularly lightweight composite toe cap that provides high thermal insulation and total foot protection in the event of objects falling from above, from impacts of up to 200J, which is equivalent to the energy caused by a stone of 10kg from a height of 2m.

Anti-puncture midsole made of high-strength and highly flexible synthetic polymer fiber. It contributes to high thermal insulation of the shoe. Extremely light and comfortable, the high flex midsole guarantees total protection of the foot from the risk of wounds, cuts and punctures. 

Soles that repel and do not absorb oily substances, and  maintain their characteristics and performances. The test is performed by an immersion in Trimethylpentane. The volume must not increase more than 12%.

Work shoes marked S1-S2-S3 have anti-static properties. They permit low voltage current passage, thus discharging the electrostatic loads accumulated by the operator.

Soles that are resistant to heat contact. The test involves contact with a hot surface of 300°C for 60 seconds without visible damages.

Shoes with insulating soles against the cold. Subjected to a specific test at -17 ° with verification that the temperature of the internal surface is not lower than the required standards. Specific for outdoor work with exposure to atmospheric agents at low temperature.

Thanks to a special treatment the uppers are waterproof. The test is performed by sealing the shoe and by immersing it in a water bath after introducing compressed air. Lack of air bubbles indicates that the upper is waterproof.
