What you need to know about the Mekap 157 S1
- S1 class: Closed heel, antistatic construction and heel energy absorption; composite toe cap (metal-free).
- Suede upper, sole listed in the product data as "insulating / SRC slip-resistant"; sizes 36–48.
- Important: No EN 50321-1 electrical insulation class is stated in the product data. The antistatic property allows static electricity to dissipate; it does not mean insulation protection for live working.
FAQ
Is the Mekap 157 suitable for working on live (energised) lines?
Live working requires electrically insulating shoes or boots classified to EN 50321. As no such class is stated for this product, it must not be used for live working; for this type of work, consider a product with a documented insulation class together with electrical insulating gloves.
Why do electricians prefer composite toe caps?
Because a composite toe cap contains no metal, it does not conduct electricity or heat; however, this does not mean the shoe as a whole provides electrical insulation.
