FAQ
Is the Mekap 230 Energy waterproof?
The S2 class refers to the upper's resistance to water penetration and absorption; it does not make the shoe fully waterproof. If you work on constantly wet ground, a waterproof boot (S4/S5) is more suitable.
Can it be used on construction sites with nails and sharp objects?
No penetration-resistant midsole is specified for this model. If there is a risk of nails, sheet metal or glass on the ground, choose an S1P or S3 model.
