Choosing the right Static Dissipative (SD) shoes is essential for ensuring electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in sensitive work environments like electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and medical facilities. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the best SD shoes:
1. Check Compliance with Standards
Look for shoes that meet ESD or SD certifications such as:
ASTM F2413-18 (for SD protection)
IEC 61340-5-1 (ESD protection standard)
EN ISO 20345 (European safety footwear standards)
These standards ensure the shoes safely discharge static electricity without risking electrical shock.
2. Know Your Work Environment
Different industries have different ESD protection needs:
Environment
Recommended Shoe Type
Electronics assembly | Lightweight SD or ESD shoes |
Cleanrooms | ESD cleanroom booties |
Warehousing / Logistics | SD shoes with added toe protection |
Medical / Labs | SD shoes with slip resistance |
3. Resistance Range
Choose shoes with a surface resistance in the static dissipative range:
Typically between 1 × 10⁶ Ω to 1 × 10⁹ Ω
This ensures static discharge is controlled but safe for the wearer
4. Comfort & Fit
Cushioned soles for all-day wear
Breathable materials to reduce sweating (important for conductivity)
Proper fit to maintain good skin contact and ground path
5. Slip and Safety Features
Non-slip soles if working in oily or wet environments
Steel toe or composite toe protection if heavy objects are involved
6. Easy Maintenance
Choose materials that are easy to clean (especially for cleanrooms)
Check if replacement insoles are available, as they wear out over time
Optional: Use an ESD Shoe Tester
After purchasing, regularly test your SD shoes using an ESD footwear tester to ensure they maintain proper conductivity.
