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. 

Work shoes equipped with soles designed to resist prolonged contact with oily substances and hydrocarbons without undergoing structural alterations. The laboratory test involves immersing the compound in Trimethylpentane, verifying that the swelling and increase in volume of the sole do not exceed 12%, thus ensuring the stability and durability of the shoe over time. This requirement is mandatory for work footwear according to the 2011 standard, while it becomes additional and optional for the 2022 standard.

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

Work shoes designed for outdoor use with exposure to atmospheric agents at low temperatures. The entire footwear is subjected to a specific test at −17 °C, verifying that the drop in internal temperature is not lower than the required standards, thus ensuring perfect maintenance of the foot's thermal comfort.

Safety shoes totally waterproof thanks to upper, seams and joints tested to prevent the entry of liquids. The waterproofness of the entire shoe is tested by placing it in a water tank and subjecting it to a dynamic flexion or mechanical walking test.

Work shoes designed to protect the foot from heat transmitted by conduction. The entire footwear is tested on a surface at 150 °C, verifying that the increase in internal temperature does not exceed the required standards. They guarantee effective thermal insulation in environments such as foundries, steel mills, industrial plants and road construction sites where work is performed on hot surfaces.

Safety shoes equipped with a toe cap with high resistance to abrasion, tested with 8,000 Martindale cycles. The Martindale test evaluates the durability of the material in the toe area, ensuring that the work shoe maintains its protective features over time even in the most wearing working conditions.

Safety shoes designed with a specific sole profile for a secure grip on ladder rungs, reducing the risk of slipping during ascent and descent. Indicated for electricians, installers, construction workers and anyone who frequently works at heights on fixed or portable ladders.

Safety shoes equipped with a sole with advanced anti-slip performance, specifically designed to ensure maximum stability and grip even on the most insidious surfaces. Subjected to severe dynamic friction tests under wet and lubricated conditions, this footwear ensures a firm grip on the ground and drastically reduces the risk of accidental falls. It is the ideal solution to guarantee maximum safety on wet or oily floors, typical of critical environments such as professional kitchens, laboratories and food processing plants.

Work shoes with antistatic properties that allow the controlled passage of low-voltage currents, dissipating the electrostatic charges accumulated by the operator during work activities and reducing the risk of ignition in environments with the presence of flammable or explosive substances.
